Nguyen Tien Minh surprises with win in Vietnam Open 2026 qualifiers: Message from 43-year-old veteran shuttler

At the Vietnam Open 2026 Super 100, Nguyen Tien Minh created a big surprise by winning in the qualifiers. The match took place in early September 2026, where the 43-year-old shuttler represented the older generation while maintaining form and courage. His opponent was Nguyen Hoang Thai Son, a player highly regarded for doubles skills. However, according to Nguyen Tien Minh's post-match comments, he exploited the opponent's weakness in singles effectively. 'I faced an opponent who is not strong in singles, but with my strength and speed, I was able to take advantage of that' - Nguyen Tien Minh shared after winning the match.
