On the night of March 11 (Vietnam time), Nguyen Thuy Linh just completed victory in the first match of the women's singles event at the tournament in Switzerland.
The opponent of the Vietnamese badminton player is Yvonne Li (Germany). Both were not seeded at the tournament, so they entered the competition with the most comfortable spirit.
However, Thuy Linh was somewhat psychologically tense in the opening set. The Vietnamese player did not play at her best, failing many shots that could decide the score.
It was the inaccuracy that caused Thuy Linh to lose 11-21 in the first set.
The 2nd set started with Thuy Linh's calmness. She played coherently, putting the opponent in a defensive position. Thuy Linh's pushes of the ball to the empty corner made Yvonne Li lose strength to move when defending. Just like that, Thuy Linh easily scored points and won 21-15.
In the 3rd set, Thuy Linh controlled the game so that the opponent had to chase scores. However, she was still the one who finished the match with a 21-17 victory.
Closing the match, Thuy Linh won 2-1. She entered the second round and Thuy Linh's opponent is expected to be No. 9 seed Tomoka Miyazaki (Japan).
The Swiss Open badminton tournament has the BWF World Tour Super 300 level of the world and Thuy Linh is the only Vietnamese representative to participate.
At this time, Vietnamese badminton still has some players participating in the China Masters 2026 International Tournament (BWF World Tour Super 100 level). The tournament takes place at the same time as the 2026 Swiss Open.
