'I didn't lose the game, [Novak] Djokovic won it,' Taiwanese tennis player Lu Yen-hsun said after the world No. 3 Serb ended Lu's historic run to the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon men's singles on Wednesday. 'I have done my best, but Djokovic performed splendidly, ' he said. Lu, who lost in their only previous encounter, was beaten in straight sets 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Both players delivered four aces, but the unseeded Lu only managed 13 winners to his rival's 29, and won just 65 percent of his first serves compared with 85 percent for Djokovic. 'He brought me under considerable pressure with his powerful returns and gave me no chance to find any weakness. I couldn't do anything but follow his pace, ' Lu told the Central News Agency after the match. 'After he broke my serve in the first set, I tried to hold on and come from behind, but Djokovic never let up, ' the world No. 82 said. 'I tried to follow my coach's instructions and hit the balls as near to the lines as I could, but it didn't seem to pose any threat to him.' 'I didn't play out of form, but I am not in his league,' Lu said. 'He deserved to win.' 'Of course it's not easy to lose, but it won't make me depressed,' he added. 'Players' conditions vary from day to day and I did my best. I hope I can do better in our next match.' Lu entered the match the day after he and Serbian partner Janko Tipsarevic were knocked out of the men's doubles, and two days after a grueling four-and-a-half hour victory over world No. 7 Andy Roddick. Lu, who defeated fifth-seeded Roddick in five sets for the best win of his seven appearances at Wimbledon and in his career, said his schedule of play hadn't affected him. 'I didn't feel tired today, ' he said. 'My opponent's impeccable performance just shattered my attempts to reverse the match.' Lu said he had undergone intensive training before the championship, and he was glad he could reach the fourth round -- the best performance ever for a Taiwanese player in a grand slam. 'The experience is very valuable. I learned how to prepare for major championships and how to hold my own in matches against great opponents,' he said. Only hours after his defeat, the Taiwanese player said he was setting his sights on the U.S. Open, which will begin Aug. 30 in New York. Lu said he hopes his experience at Wimbledon will help him at the U.S. Open. His best record in his three appearances at that tournament is the second round. After making the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, Lu is set to be ranked in the world's top 50. 'I have shown that Asian players can win a berth in major tennis championships,' Lu said. 'Some people may ascribe my performance to good luck, but luck only comes when you prepare for it,' he added.
