The World Badminton Federation (BWF) announced the rankings on August 20 and Nguyen Thuy Linh increased by one place to 22nd in the world.
Nguyen Thuy Linh has not competed internationally recently, but she has still been promoted. This is an encouragement for Nguyen Thuy Linh before going to France to participate in the 2025 World Championship. Thuy Linh will leave on August 23. At this tournament, our player was drawn against seed number 10 Ratchanok Intanon (Thailand) in the women's singles round.
Two years ago, Thuy Linh competed in the 2023 World Championship in Denmark but lost in the first round of the women's singles against Nozomi Okuhara (Japan). Thuy Linh's goal at this year's tournament is to strive to compete for the highest result. She just won the gold medal in women's singles at the 2025 National Individual Championship.
Also on the world rankings, tennis player Vu Thi Trang dropped five places to 170th. Former number one Vietnam also has an official ticket to the 2025 World Championship.
For the men's event, tennis player Nguyen Hai Dang increased by one level to reach 57th in the world. This is Hai Dang's highest ranking since being named on the BWF rankings. Hai Dang is currently the number one male badminton player in Vietnam when he won the gold medal at the 2025 National Individual Championship.
On the world rankings, Olympic player Le Duc Phat has not had good results, so he is ranked 69th in men's singles. The 2025 Badminton World Championship will be played from August 25 to August 31.
