Vietnamese badminton player Nguyen Tien Minh has climbed one notch in
the latest Badminton World Federation (BWF) Men’s Singles rankings,
reclaiming 9th place.

The quick rebound is mainly due to his
impressive performance at the 2013 Singapore Badminton Open semi-finals
that earned him 51,411 points.

Indonesian Tommy Sugiato, who
defeated Minh in Singapore, jumped six places to 7 th while compatriot
Sony Dwi Kuncoro fell three places to 10 th .

Without attending
the Singapore competition, Malaysian Lee Chong Wei remained on top of
the rankings, followed by China’s Chen Long and Du Pengyu, Thailand’s
Ponsana, and Japan’s Kenichi Tago.-VNA
