Nguyen Thuy Linh recovers from injury, readies for Korea Masters
VOV.VN - After more than a month of treatment, Vietnam's top female badminton player Nguyen Thuy Linh has fully recovered and is now undergoing high-intensity training to regain her form ahead of her comeback at the Korea Masters badminton tournament, scheduled to take place in Iksan City from November 4-9.
The tournament is part of the BWF World Tour Super 300 series, with a total prize pool of US$240,000.
The coaching staff of the Vietnam national badminton team on October 22 revealed that after Korea Masters, on November 11-16, Linh will continue to join Japan Masters in Kumamoto prefecture, which is part of the World Tour Super 500 series and offers a total prize purse of US$475,000.
At the end of November, the leading badminton player will also take part in the Australian Open, another tournament under the World Tour Super 500 circuit.
Strong performances across these tournaments could help Linh break into the world’s top 15, boosting her confidence ahead of the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand, where her ultimate goal is to claim the gold medal.
Earlier in September, Linh was forced to withdraw from the China Masters due to an ankle and foot injury sustained during her first-round match against Yeo Jia Min of Singapore. Her recovery and return to form mark a significant step forward as she resumes her pursuit of international and regional success.
