Lu Yen-hsun sparks social media controversy following Asian Games

Former Taiwanese tennis star Lu Yen-hsun sparked online speculation following a series of social media posts on Instagram. In his posts, Lu described “two-faced” individuals as “disgusting” and subsequently shared a message regarding the importance of the “baseline” in both singles and doubles tennis.

While Lu did not explicitly name any individuals, the timing of his posts coincided with the conclusion of the women’s doubles gold medal match at the Asian Games. The match featured a showdown between Taiwanese players, with Hsieh Su-wei and Liang En-shuo defeating Chan Hao-ching and Wu Fang-hien to secure gold and silver for the Chinese Taipei team.

Public discussion has linked Lu’s comments to recent tensions observed during the tournament, including a moment where players did not shake hands after the match. Additionally, separate reports noted controversy involving a journalist’s interaction with Hsieh Su-wei during post-match interviews, further fueling debate among fans regarding sportsmanship and professional conduct.
