In the first two rounds, Thuy Linh was in very good form. In the first round, she excellently defeated former world number 1 Ratchanok Intanon from Thailand. Then Thuy Linh continued to beat Scottish player Kirsty Gilmour to advance to the round of 16.

This time, her opponent is the fourth seed from China, Chen Yu Fei. This is a player who won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Therefore, Thuy Linh was predicted to have a tough match.

Reality has shown that, when the level of the two players is quite different. Thuy Linh's ability to control the shuttlecock, which was used well in previous matches, is no longer effective.

Chen Yu Fei with her superior technique was almost unfazed. She took the initiative in her play, forcing Thuy Linh into difficult positions.

Vietnam's "badminton hot girl" had a few explosive moments but not enough to cause any surprise. Chen Yu Fei won in just 2 sets with the scores 21-10, 21-9 after more than half an hour of play.

With this result, the Chinese player won a ticket to the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Thuy Linh's impressive journey at this year's World Badminton Championship has officially ended.

With 2 wins in the past, she is likely to get a lot of points and have a chance to return to the world top 20.
