Vietnam ’s number-one badminton player Nguyen Tien Minh has made a comeback to the list of the world’s top ten players, according to the latest ranking of the Badminton World Federation (BWF).

The step forward was attributed to Minh’s efforts to enter the quarterfinals at the Korea Open Championship which started on January 12.

It is expected that Minh will continue to go up in BWF’s next ranking as he has entered the semifinals at the recent Malaysia Open 2010.

This year, Minh will participate in some 15 international competitions held by BWF, including eight in the Super Series. In November, Minh will compete at ASIAD 2010./.
