Career
Lu appeared in 2010 China Open as a wildcard aged 19, but lost 5–2 to Robert Milkins.[3] When the Asian Players Tour Championship events were introduced in 2012, it gave Lu an opportunity to qualify for the professional snooker tour.[4] It was in 2013/2014 events where Lu started to make an impact and he reached semi-finals of the 2013 Zhangjiagang Open, where he lost out to eventual winner Ju Reti 4–2.[5][4] This result was the main factor in Lu gaining a tour year place on the professional World Snooker Tour for the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 seasons.[4][6]
Debut season
Lu won a match as a professional at the first attempt by beating Dominic Dale 5–2 to qualify for the 2014 Wuxi Classic, where he lost 5–2 to Jack Lisowski. He could not win another match in a qualifying event during the rest of the season. He played in his first UK Championship as all tour players start at the venue stage of this event, but was defeated 6–1 by Ryan Day in the first round.[7] Lu was the world number 113 after his first season on tour.[8]
2015/2016 season
Lu won one match all season which came at a minor-ranking European Tour event. He did come very close to beating two-time world champion Mark Williams in the opening round of the Welsh Open by levelling at 3–3 from 3–1 down, but could not take advantage of numerous chances that came his way in the decider.[9] He will need to enter Q School to earn a place back on tour.[10]
