Nguyen Thuy Linh will continue to participate in the 2026 Indonesia Open International Badminton Tournament from June 2 to June 7. She was not selected as the seed in this tournament.
However, Nguyen Thuy Linh was awarded a ticket to participate in the main women's singles round in Indonesia this year. She is the only representative of Vietnamese women's badminton to participate in this tournament.
According to the draw, Nguyen Thuy Linh will face Pitchamon Opatniputh (Thailand) in the first match of the first round of women's singles.

Nguyen Thuy Linh has now dropped to 25th place in the world women's singles. She is striving to accumulate more points to improve her ranking in the BWF rankings. In August this year, Thuy Linh has the opportunity to participate in the women's singles event at the 2026 World Championships.
