Nguyen Tien Minh and 9 other Vietnamese athletes will compete at the 2016 Asian Badminton Championship taking place in Wuhan (China) from today.

The 2016 Asian Badminton Championship took place from April 26 to May 1 in Wuhan (China). The Vietnamese delegation participated in this tournament with a total of 10 athletes in all 5 categories: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles.

The number 1 hope is of course still Nguyen Tien Minh in the men's singles. Because this tournament gathers many of the world's top players such as Lin Dan, Chen Long, Lee Chong Wei, Tien Minh is not seeded.

That makes it difficult for the Vietnamese player to draw lots and Tien Minh will be in the same bracket as Lin Dan. If he plays well, the number 1 Vietnamese player will face this legend in the second round.

Besides Tien Minh, the remaining Vietnamese player participating in the men's singles event will be Pham Cao Cuong.
