Linh, three places behind Jaquet in the world rankings, needed only 33 minutes to finish off the clash at 21-8 and 21-17, thus successfully avenging her 1-2 defeat against the Swiss opponent two years ago (18-21, 24-22, 22-24)
The win was an encouraging result for the 24-year-old Vietnamese although it was insufficient for her to book a last-eight slot. With two victories over France’s Qi Xuefei and Jaquet and one loss against Tai Tzu-Ying of Taiwan (China), Linh completed the group stage campaign in second place and had to bid farewell to her 2020 Olympic journey.
