On September 5, 2023, the number one hope of Vietnamese badminton – Nguyen Thuy Linh created a big earthquake when she brilliantly defeated the number 1 Indonesian female tennis player Gregoria Mariska Tunjung in round 1 of the badminton tournament.
This is a Super 1000 level tournament, equivalent in value to the Grand Slam system of tennis.
After winning the women’s singles gold medal at the 2023 national individual badminton tournament, Thuy Linh moved to China to attend the Victor China Open 2023 badminton tournament. However, she immediately faced a not easy challenge.
The opponent of the Vietnamese badminton beauty queen is Gregoria Mariska Tunjung – the number one female tennis player in Indonesia.
Gregoria Mariska Tunjung faced many difficulties against Thuy Linh at China Open 2023
She won her first BWF World Tour title at the 2023 Spain Masters by defeating Pursala Sindhu in the final.
Gregoria Tunjung also marked an important milestone when she overcame Chen Yu Fei to win the Kumamoto Masters, thereby becoming the first Indonesian women’s singles player to win the Super 500 title or equivalent since the tournament’s inception.
Nguyen Thuy Linh’s historic victory at a Super 1000 level tournament
However, in the match against Vietnamese players at an event considered a badminton `Grand Slam`, Tunjung was not in his best form.
Tunjung still could not improve his errors in the first set of the second set, even though the match had cooled down.
This is also the first time in her career that the badminton queen from Phu Tho has won a match at the Super 1000 level. Entering round 2, Thuy Linh encountered another opponent also in the top 10 in the world.
