It was a similar story in the &lt;a href="2015%E2%80%9316%20snooker%20season"&gt;2015/2016 season&lt;/a&gt; as Lu only reached the UK Championship and Welsh Open, losing in the first round of both. He was relegated from the tour at the end of the season due to being ranked 101st in the world, well outside of the top 64.
