Aisam ul Haque Qurieshi, Pakistan tennis star won the opening round of his doubles match with Parkash Amritraj of India at Wimbledon. They won in a 5-set match after managing to beat 16-seeded Stephen Huss (Australia) and Ross Hutchins (Germany). Both of them has played in Grand Slams events before but have never progressed to a much higher round. They will be playing their second round doubles match today against Rameez Junaid of Australia and Philip Marx of Germany. Rameez has only played once in a Grand Slams double event and he went out of the first round from Australian Open in 2006 whereas this is the first time Philip is playing at a Grand Slams tournament.
I hope they win it and go a long way this time. And also that Aisam gets recognition and media attention too because I believe that Pakistan presence is such prestigious event is an honor for us.
