This is a match in which Thuy Linh is rated much higher, as she is the number 1 seed of Vietnam Open and is ranked 18th in the world . On the contrary, Selvaduray is only ranked 77th.

However, the development of the match surprised many people. Thuy Linh started the match with great difficulty and seemed to be on the verge of defeat. In the first set, she made many mistakes, sending the ball out of play.

Thuy Linh's playing condition was not really stable, causing her to accept defeat 14-21 in this set. In set 2, the Vietnamese player continued to face difficulties. She lacked the necessary sharpness so she could not break through at the beginning of the set. But with her class, Thuy Linh still entered the break period with a lead of 11-8.

After a quick exchange with the coaching staff, the Vietnamese badminton hot girl woke up. She broke through, including a streak of 6 consecutive points, creating a big gap of 17-10. From here, Thuy Linh won 21-12 in set 2.

With her vast experience, she continued to create advantages in set 3. This time, Thuy Linh even scored 8 consecutive points to lead 11-4. The safe distance helped her easily win 21-10 in set 3 and win the overall victory.

Another hard-fought victory, but Thuy Linh has still earned the right to enter the quarterfinals of the Vietnam Open 2025. She is getting closer to defending her championship title of this tournament.
