The recent performance of Vietnamese badminton player Nguyễn Hải Đăng in the Syed Modi International 2024 tournament has been a topic of great excitement and pride in the badminton world. Let's delve into the details of his journey to the quarterfinals and his impressive victory over Viren Nettasinghe from Sri Lanka.
Nguyễn Hải Đăng's remarkable display in the Syed Modi International 2024 tournament has placed him in the quarterfinals. He defeated Viren Nettasinghe, ranked 95th in the world, with a convincing score of 21-19, 21-14. Despite his lower world ranking, Nettasinghe is no stranger to the badminton circuit in Vietnam, having posed a threat to Lê Đức Phát's Olympic qualification for Paris 2024.
In a previous encounter at the Asian tournament in 2024, Nguyễn Hải Đăng had secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Viren Nettasinghe. This time, the Sri Lankan player managed to keep pace until 16-16 in the first game before faltering. Nguyễn Hải Đăng seized the opportunity and gained a 4-game point advantage, eventually winning the game at 21-16. The second game saw Nettasinghe falling behind early at 5-5 and struggling to make a comeback. Nguyễn Hải Đăng's consistent play left his opponent with no chance to turn the tide.
However, another Vietnamese player, Lê Đức Phát, faced defeat in the tournament. He lost 15-21, 8-21 against the 34th-ranked world player, Priyanshu Rajawat from India, who recently participated in the China Masters. Despite an initial game that saw both players tied at 12-12, Rajawat dominated the second game, leaving Lê Đức Phát trailing 1-9 before the match's end.
Nguyễn Hải Đăng's advancement to the quarterfinals of the Syed Modi International 2024 tournament reflects his skill and determination in the badminton arena. While his compatriot Lê Đức Phát faced a challenging loss, the Vietnamese contingent continues to make a mark on the global badminton stage with their noteworthy performances.
