Nguyen Thuy Linh (seed number 2) competed in her first match in the women's singles event on November 5. Against the less famous opponent Han Yu Chen (Taiwan, China), Nguyen Thuy Linh only took 28 minutes to beat her opponent with the scores of 21-9 and 21-15 respectively. In round 2, Nguyen Thuy Linh will meet tennis player Hung Yi-Ting (Taiwan, China). The match will take place on November 6.
Before participating in the 2025 Masters tournament in Korea, tennis player Nguyen Thuy Linh set a goal of achieving the highest result. She has not competed internationally for nearly a month to have the best physical preparation and compete in Korea at this time. The 2025 Masters tournament is a BWF World Tour Super 300 level for badminton.
On the same day, November 5, tennis player Nguyen Hai Dang passed the first round of the men's singles event when he beat opponent Kuo Kuan Lin (Taiwan, China) 2-0. In the next match, Hai Dang will have to face the number 4 seed of Korea, Jeon Hyeok Jin.
Nguyen Hai Dang was not seeded in this tournament but was determined to go deep in the tournament. Unable to have the joy of victory like Thuy Linh and Hai Dang, the two tennis players Nguyen Dinh Hoang and Tran Dinh Manh had to stop at round 1 of the men's doubles event. The two Vietnamese players lost to the host country Korea in the first match.
