盧彥勳和謝政鵬的組合，剛和Sam Querrey 及Steve Johnson激戰三盤落敗。但盧彥勳今天自己感覺比前天單打時，節奏更為流暢，當然自己也整整兩年多，未參加四大賽的雙打賽事，網前的反應也還待加強，只是覺得對謝政鵬較為抱歉，未能幫他將這場勝利拿下來。

不過他認為謝政鵬雙打非常有天份，網前的處理和反應都非常好，希望他再接再勵，能在今年的雙打比賽中，再創造更好的成績。

當然這場球，對自己非常有意義，除了是自己復出的第一場比賽的雙打，更是自己第一次在四大賽中，和同來自台灣的選手搭配，是真正的台灣隊。盧彥勳參連同這一次，共參加了十次澳洲公開賽的雙打賽事，職業生涯雙打也打過了三十二次的四大公開賽，這是第一次和台灣男子選手搭配到，可以在會內賽出場，真的感到非常的光榮和興奮。 也期許有愈來愈多的台灣年輕選手，能在四大賽的職業舞台亮相。

盧彥勳雙打結束後，2020年的澳洲公開賽算正式結束了。盧彥勳明天將回台灣休息及過年，接下來還有八個賽事可以用保護排名來報名，預計將會是 2月底的杜拜公開賽、3月的印帝安納大師賽、邁阿密大師賽、5月的法國公開賽、6月底的溫布公開賽、 7月的東京奧運、及八月底的美國公開賽……其他的挑戰賽事，也會試著向主辦單位要求外卡，希望能增加參賽的機會，會東京奧運做準備。

The doubles team of Rendy Lu and Akon Hsieh lost a close three setter to Americans Sam Querrey and Steve Johnson. However, Lu feels that he played better than the previous day's singles match, although the sharepness at the net needs to be improved. After all, it has been over two years since Rendy has played a grand slam doubles match. Rendy feels bad that he wasn't able to secure the win for Akon. Rendy thinks Akon is a talented doubles player and will have good results this year.

This doubles match was significant becauase it's the first time Rendy has partnered with another Taiwanese player at a grand slam doubles event (out of total 32 times). This was an exciting moment and we wish more young Taiwanese players can shine at the grand slam stage.

The doubles loss ends Rendy's 2020 Australian Open return. Tomorrow Rendy will fly back to Taiwan to spend the Chinese New Year holiday with the family and take a rest. There will be 8 more tournaments that Rendy can enter with the protected ranking. The current plan is Dubai, Indian Wells, Miami, French Open, Wimbledon, Tokyo Olympics, and US Open. Rendy will also request for wildcard at other Challenger events to seek more playing time and prepare for Tokyo Olympics.

I had to make a major decision.
I am taking an endoscopic surgery of my left knee meniscus.

The pain of my left knee started from autumn.
I took MRI scans and found out a meniscus injury.

Recently, there are fewer days that I can go on to the court being 100% ready as there are more days that I cannot prepare enough due to my current age and repeating injuries.
Obviously, I had to start thinking of ending my challenge.
“When and how am I going to finish my career?”
It is difficult to come up with an answer to this question while I still have passion for tennis and still wanting to play matches.

In view of this injury and my current ranking, I thought the Australian Open could be the last Grand Slam tournament I can participate on my own.
That is why I wanted to challenge without taking the surgery.

I returned to Tokyo from Australian Open and I took some MRI scans the next day. The meniscus injury was now a meniscus rupture.

It was shocking although I was prepared to some extent.
I knew it was a reckless challenge but I wanted to believe that God shall give me some power.
But I was afraid when I actually go on to the court.
I told myself that I have been working hard on my rehabilitation and training but it took some time for me to wipe out the fear in the court.
Yet, after losing the 1st set and getting close to lose the 2nd set, I now don’t care about my knee.
It seems I still want to play tennis....

After being told about the meniscus rupture from my doctor, I thought about my career as an athlete, my life after retiring from an athlete, what are the options I have in front of me now, and I decided to take the surgery.

There is no guarantee that the pain will totally disappear after the surgery.
I did think of retiring immediately too.
But my conclusion was not to put a period while I still feel I have something left to do.
I chose the unknown option which is to take the surgery and rehabilitation, believing that I shall be back in the court again someday, although I don’t know when yet.
It will be appreciated if my challenge to choose the unknown, which will probably be the last big selection as an athlete, can be watched warmly.
