I’ll miss them
India’s Rohan Bopanna and Pakistan’s Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi have ended their successful tennis doubles partnership, which was hailed as a symbol of friendship between the rival nations.
Bopanna told the Indian Express newspaper on Monday that he will team up with veteran compatriot Mahesh Bhupathi in 2012, while Qureshi will next partner Dutchman Jean-Julien Roger at the Australian Open in January.
“As the season has ended now, I can confirm that I am playing with Mahesh in 2012,” Bopanna said, declining to elaborate on the reason for parting ways with Qureshi after four years.
“Who I want to play with is my decision … I did have a successful year with Aisam but now I am starting a new year with Mahesh, and it’s as simple as that.”

STOCKHOLM: Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and Rohan Bopanna won the Stockholm Open on Sunday, their second ATP doubles title of the season and third overall together, Times of India reported. The Indo-Pak Express defeated their Brazilian opponents in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3 in a match that barely lasted an hour.

Walter Bonatti, an Italian climber who won belated recognition for his contribution for the first ascent to the summit of K2—the world’s second-highest peak in Pakistan, has died. He was 81. It wasn’t until 2008 that the Italian Alpine Club confirmed Bonatti’s version, declaring that Bonatti and his fellow support climber Amir Mahdi had a decisive and essential role in the success of the 1954 expedition.

C’mon guys go for the Wimbledon win! (PSE) The Indo-Pak Express earned its first doubles title of the year by winning the Gerry Weber Open on Sunday in Germany. Pakistan’s Aisam ul Haq Qureshi and India’s Rohan Bopanna beat Hasse-Roanic 7-6, 3-6, 11-9. The duo has been making gradual progress in recent years, making it to the quarters and semis of major tournaments. Recently, they had crashed out of the men’s French Open doubles quarter final in June while reaching the semis of the Monte Carlo ATP Masters Tennis Championship in May. Earlier this month, Aisam achieved his career best ranking of number eight in the ATP men’s doubles rankings, while rising to number two in the Asian men’s rankings.

Aisam Ul-Haq
I am proud of all my fellow country sports men and women who have won distinguished places for our country BUT I am FAR MORE proud of this tennis player Aisam Ul-Haq.
He may not have gotten first place but he certainly shone the brightest. I am proud of him for speaking up for our country, defending it and exhibiting our true image. May ALLAH Always Bless You Aisam.
