Aisam reaches US Open Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles FINALS!

I know this is a cricket forum, but I figured Pakistani fans could use some good news. This is an unprecedented achievement. Never before has a Pakistani reached a Grand Slam final, let alone TWO finals at the same time!

Nobody mentioned that Aisam Qureshi's partner in men's doubles is India's Rohan Bopanna.

Its good to see India and Pakistan team up.

Re: Aisam reaches US Open Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles FINALS!

good luck to them in the final :k:

Re: Aisam reaches US Open Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles FINALS!

Would be great to see the Indo Pak combo win !

Re: Aisam reaches US Open Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles FINALS!

Yeah man will love to see that happening :D

Re: Aisam reaches US Open Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles FINALS!

ive been following it, unfortunately hes teamed up with an indian so i cant support him on that one. but hope he wins the mixed doubles.

Re: Aisam reaches US Open Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles FINALS!

^ He even teemed up with a couple of Israeli Player earlier. He has been playing with Rohan for 5 years now and has even played with Leander Paes, among other Indians.

Having political differences with a country is okay but it doesn't mean the citizens of that country are necessarily evil. Does this mean he is a bad guy when he plays with an Indian and we should not support him but suddenly becomes a good guy when he plays with a Czech lady, he's alright?

Re: Aisam reaches US Open Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles FINALS!

I know! Hes a serial offender, its really annoying. When I read the woman's name I wondered if shes serbian.. that was the closest country I could think of that is as anti-Muslim/Pakistan as Israel and India.

i will concede the point that all indians arent necessarily evil. however I never want indians to win anything, so any happiness i get from Aisam winning is soured by Rohan. that dynamic doesnt exist with the Czech lady.

Re: Aisam reaches US Open Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles FINALS!

yeah the team is called Indo-Pak express :)

Re: Aisam reaches US Open Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles FINALS!

Bryans, Bopanna-Qureshi set for historic final

…The No. 1 team in the world, American twins Bob and Mike Bryan, will be seeking to add another winner’s trophy to their world-record 64 championships. To do so, they will have to beat No. 16 seeds Rohan Bopanna of India and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi of Pakistan, who have won just one tour-level title together.

Bob Bryan gained a measure of revenge Thursday by teaming with Liezel Huber to defeat Qureshi and Kveta Peschke of the Czech Republic to win the mixed doubles title. Following the match, the left-handed Bryan revealed that on the eve of the men’s doubles final, he and Qureshi are teammates for a different cause.

“What him and Bopanna are doing for world peace is incredible,” Bob Bryan said during the mixed doubles trophy presentation. “We want to make a generous donation on behalf of the Bryan Brothers Foundation to the Pakistani flood relief today.”

For me, Aisam has already won!
