Top Vietnamese badminton player Nguyen Tien Minh will take on Indonesian opponent, Sony Dwi Kuncoro in his first match of the Japan Open on June 10, and a victory is likely to earn him a berth to the quarter finals.

The Vietnamese player was not lucky in the draw of the Japan Open, when his first rival will be Wang Zhengming, one of the top ten badminton players in the world, in the first round of the Super Series, which will open on September 17 in Japan.
