On the evening of March 28, in the second round of the Madrid Masters Spanish Badminton Tournament, Nguyen Thuy Linh lost to Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo (12-21, 15-21).
It is worth mentioning that at the Swiss Open just a week ago, Nguyen Thuy Linh defeated Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo. However, in this rematch, the Vietnamese player could not maintain her form.
In set 1, Nguyen Thuy Linh could only maintain the momentum in the first few points. Then she let the Indonesian player take the lead. Wardoyo won 21-12 in set 1.
Game 2 was a bit better for the Vietnamese badminton hot girl. She created pressure and led 5-3, 8-6 at times. However, Wardoyo, with her fast playing style, regained the advantage. She gradually led 9-8 and started to push forward.
Despite her best efforts, Thuy Linh could not catch up. Wardoyo continued to win 21-15 and secured a ticket to the next round.
Nguyen Thuy Linh stopped at round 2 of the Madrid Masters in Spain. This was the last tournament in her recent European tour.
This period also witnessed Thuy Linh reap many successes. The most notable of which was finishing second at the German Open or going far in the Swiss Open, Spain Madrid Masters. In addition, she also had the opportunity to compete against top players at the French Open or the All England Championship.
Although the list of participants for the 2024 Paris Olympics will not be finalized until the end of April, at the present time, Thuy Linh is almost certain to have a spot.
Now, she will just have to wait for the official rankings to see if she can make it into the seeding pool of the 12 best-ranked players.
