Minh, Trang to compete in Denmark
Vietnam will send two players to the World Badminton Championships due to be held in Denmark in August.
World No 10 Nguyen Tien Minh will compete in the men’s individual and Vu Thi Trang, World’s No 83, will take part in the women’s individual.
It is the first time that a female Vietnamese player will have played in the tournament.
Trang is at the peak of her performance, after making it to the semi-finals of March’s Ciputra Hanoi-Yonex Sunrise Vietnam International Challenge and to the second round of the OUE Singapore Open last month.
The World Championships will take place in Ballerup Super Arena, Copenhagen, from August 25 to 31.
