- Tournament: Round 1, Super 750 India Open 2026

Skipping last week’s Super 1000 Malaysia Open, Nguyễn Thùy Linh chose to start her 2026 season at the Super 750 India Open held in New Delhi, India from January 13 to 18. In her opening match, Thùy Linh faces one of India’s sporting icons, former world number 2 and 2019 world champion Pusarla Venkata Sindhu.
Although she holds a good head-to-head record having defeated PV Sindhu in both encounters during 2025, Thùy Linh is still expected to face difficulties as her opponent is in excellent form and playing on home ground. Last week, Sindhu impressively reached the semifinals of the Malaysia Open, losing only to Wang Zhiyi.
If she beats Sindhu, Thùy Linh will advance past the first round of the India Open for the first time in her career.
