Tien Minh proved himself as the top seed in the tournament, sneaking past Suppanyu in the first set with a score of 24-22.
While the second set score was 10-7 in Minh’s favour, the Thai shuttler decided to pull out due to an injury, handing Tien Minh a ticket to the semi-finals.
World number eight Tien Minh is expected to make light work of Rumbaka Dionysius Hayom of Indonesia, ranked 22nd in the world, in tomorrow’s semi-final match.
Top female Vietnamese player Vu Thi Trang also surged into the semi-finals today following her 2-1 victory over Singapore’s Chen Jiayuan in their quarter-final matchup.
