Closing the Vietnam Open 2025 as runner-up, Nguyen Thuy Linh ( world rank 17) quickly participated in the World Tour, China Masters 2025, facing Singapore's number 1 tennis player Yeo Jia Min (rank 15).
Before this match, Yeo Jia Min had won 4 out of 5 times against Thuy Linh. Besides, Thuy Linh also did not have the support of Indonesian expert Hariawan Hong like in Vietnam Open, she had to adjust her own tactics while her opponent had a coach closely directing the match.
Thuy Linh gave up in set 2 against Singaporean player
Despite being continuously behind, the number 1 Vietnamese tennis player still stubbornly kept up, successively equalizing 15-15, 18-18, even taking the lead 19-18 but unfortunately lost 19-21 in set 1. In set 2, when trailing 0-3, Thuy Linh proactively asked to give up, giving the right to continue to Yeo Jia Min. Before that, she showed signs of fatigue and lethargy when competing right from the first set.
Sharing on her personal page, Thuy Linh apologized to her fans: "Sorry everyone. Today's result is something Linh or any athlete did not want. I myself never want to see a "quit" line in my competition history.
I also went out on the field and tried my best, but my feet and ankles have been very painful for the past few days, making it impossible for me to move normally. Before the match, Linh also consulted a doctor and was warned that if she was not careful, she could get a more serious injury, even a torn ligament."
