很高興台灣又揚名國際
不過看到Taipei, China有點失落..
Lu Dreams Large
Since his shocking quarter-final upset over Andy Roddick at this year's
Wimbledon, Yen-Hsun Lu is one player who should be on everyone's radar.
The 26-year-old from Taipei, China, upset the No. 7 ranked Roddick in five
action-packed sets while showcasing his speed and agility. This marked Lu's
first win over a Top 10 player since upsetting Andy Murray in the 2008 Beijing
Olympics. The hard-court specialist is 10-11 in 16 tournaments this year, and
has competed in all three Grand Slams thus far.
In 2004, Lu became the first player from Chinese Taipei to break into the Top
100. He has been up and down since then, but has managed to remain in the Top
100 for the past two years. After achieving his greatest victory at Wimbledon,
he attained his career-high ranking of No. 41.
Lu has become recognized on-and-off the court for his perseverance. He plays
tennis not only for love of the sport, but also as a means to an end while
providing for his family. Lu aspires to fulfil the dream of his late father
to become the first Chinese player to reach the Top 10. Though he has been
slow to move up the ranks since he turned pro in 2002, he recently jumped
from No. 82 to No. 42 in just two weeks, proving that anything is possible.
Lu has yet to win a singles title, though he has shown great determination
over the past few years. He will undoubtedly put on an exciting performance
this qualifying weekend at Rogers Cup presented by National Bank as one of
the key people vying for a spot in the main draw.
