Second round of the Wimbly qualies against Dawid Olejniczak of Poland, possibly Rik de Voest in the final round of qualies.

[Haile Selassie]

He lost in second round of qualys

[Garfman5]

That sucks, he'll lose some points now, since he won't emulate his second round showing of last year.

[Haile Selassie]

Exactly that was what I thought
We will play doubles with Rohan Bopanna

[Haile Selassie]

His ranking is going down(198)
Now he will try to get back where he belongs playing some challengers in Brazil.In Campos do Jordao we will have livestream so we will be able to watch once again.

Aisam confident of bringing laurels to Pakistan
Updated at: 0214 PST, Saturday, September 06, 2008
LAHORE: This year may not have been his best, but Aisam ul Haq is confident of bringing laurels to Pakistan in the future. Geo met with the Tennis Ace on his return to the country after playing in the singles and doubles event at the US Open.

He is Pakistan’s top ranked singles and doubles players and last month he became the first Pakistani since Haroon Rahim in 1974 to represent the country in the final Grand Slam of the year.

Although his stay was cut short as he was knocked out in his first round matches, Aisam is also confident of improving his ranking in the international arena aiming at least to reach the 100th position.

Outcomes from his last month’s performances were positive, as he played two semi finals in Brazil and also qualified for the US open.

When asked about his future commitments he said that I dream of becoming an Olympian and criticized the Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) for not being able to get him a wild card entry in the Beijing Olympics last month.

Though this year has not been outstanding for him, Aisam is very much determined for the future challenges and hopes the attitude of the PTF changes so that he could win more tournaments for the country.

Hello there, this is my first post to Aisam Ul Haq Qureshi Thread

I saw Aisam(or Aisma?), when he played Spain Challenger at Segovia last year. I knew considerably for a long time. I think that there are grass courts most in him as you say. Because the grass court is personally loved, the activity at the grass court season is expected.

I think that this is the way it should be of tennis.
It's like Stefan Edberg, Patrick Rafter, Todd Woodbridge, Pat Cash, Tim Henman.
At the end, I think he is a very valuable player.
