In the preliminary registration list for the women's singles event of the 2026 German Open Badminton Tournament, Nguyen Thuy Linh is named.
However, Vietnam's No. 1 female tennis player has just decided to withdraw and not participate in this year's tournament.
The competition program of the 2026 German Open Badminton Tournament is from February 24 to March 1. The tournament belongs to the BWF World Tour Super 300 level of world badminton.
Thuy Linh's failure to participate in this year's tournament means she cannot defend her runner-up position in women's singles in Germany. In 2 matches of the German Open Badminton Tournament in 2024 and 2025, Nguyen Thuy Linh both reached the final but lost a regrettable match.
Nguyen Thuy Linh is currently in Vietnam practicing professional skills after returning from tournaments in India and Indonesia recently.
According to the program, she will return to international tournaments at the beginning of March. The tennis player is expected to participate in the world's leading important tournament, the All England Open 2026. The tournament takes place in England from March 3rd to 8th with the BWF World Tour Super 1,000 level. The world's leading tennis players all come to England to compete in this tournament. In April, Nguyen Thuy Linh is expected to participate in the 2026 Asian Championship.
Tennis player Nguyen Thuy Linh aims to return to the top 20 in the world on the BWF rankings in 2026. Last year, she achieved the best position of 17th in the world women's singles.
