Taiwanese tennis player Lu Yen-hsun arrived in Toronto, Canada Thursday hoping to get back in form at the Rogers Cup after crashing out in the first round of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic earlier this week. Although he has not fully recovered from a foot injury, Lu said it would not become an excuse for losing games. 'I hope my fitness and tennis skills will come together and allow me to do the best I can,' Lu said. He told the Central News Agency that the opportunity to compete in the Rogers Cup, which runs Aug. 7-15, will give him some top-level match play ahead of the U.S. Open in New York later this month. World No. 44 Lu flew to Toronto from Washington D.C., where Colombia's Alejandro Falla (No. 61) sent him out of the Legg Mason in straight sets. In Taipei, EasyCard Corp. on Friday auctioned out five sets of its smartcards featuring Lu's pictures and autographs for a total of NT$1.01 million to sponsor the tennis player's training. In a pre-recorded video screened at the auction venue, Lu expressed his appreciation. Lu said tennis is the most important part of his life and that he looks forward to achieving his best 'so that you will feel it's worthwhile to collect my EasyCards.' The company has issued 300 sets of the cards for the sponsorship program, in which buyers will receive a set of the cards with a minimum donation of NT$1,000. The donations are being accepted through Lu's Web site at www.rendylu.url.tw. The 26-year-old went further in a grand slam singles event than any Taiwanese player before him after defeating fifth-seeded American Andy Roddick in the fourth round at Wimbledon on June 28. He is currently No. 2 in Asia behind Andrey Golubev (37) of Kazakhstan, according to ATP rankings.
