On September 8, the World Badminton Federation BWF announced the latest rankings and Nguyen Thuy Linh has not increased in rank.
Vietnam's leading female tennis player drops 3 places, to 32nd in the world.
This is a surprise for Thuy Linh because after 2 years she has left the top 30 female singles players of the BWF.
The best ranking that Thuy Linh has ever achieved is 17.
Nguyen Thuy Linh is competing at the 2026 Vietnam Open Badminton Tournament (Vietnam Open 2026) in Ho Chi Minh City. This is the 14th international tournament she has participated in since the beginning of 2026.
If Thuy Linh achieves positive results at the 2026 Vietnam Open Badminton Tournament, she has the opportunity to improve her world rankings in the near future.
After the 2026 Vietnam Open Badminton Tournament, Thuy Linh will participate in ASIAD 20.
This player is 1 of 6 faces of the Vietnamese badminton team who were awarded a spot to compete in Aichi-Nagoya (Japan).
Nguyen Thuy Linh participated in ASIAD 18, ASIAD 19 in the women's singles event. However, she has not achieved a medal result.
Thuy Linh's best international result recently is the runner-up title in the women's singles of the Taiwan International Badminton Tournament (China) 2026.
This is the world's BWF World Tour Super 300 level tournament.
ASIAD 20 badminton will take place from September 20 to 29.
