I think the Olympics Committee should consider giving Pakistan a wild card. We Pakistani should sign a request for it.
Please update about Aqeel Khan. he reached to olympics....
It was a even match . In first set it was 3-3 . the Bryan brothers on server score become 4-3 then unfortunately Bryan brothers break service score became 5-3 . Again Bryan brothers on server and win set 6-3 . In Second set score was 6-5 in favor of asiam and co. Bryan brothers on server score asiam have chance to win set he is on set point but Bryan brothers save it . And in tie break is also a hard betel and finally Bryan brothers have win . Well played asiam and company .
I was there at the semi final and both Aisam and Rojer gave the Bryan Brothers a tough fight and fought hard to come back. ET's headline is disrespectful of Aisam and Rojer and reeks of irresponsible and malicious journalism. We need to support our sporting heroes like Aisam who have made it this far without any official patronage or training.
Sad News that they lost, but making it to the last four is achievement.Keep up the hard work guys :)
@Bazil Mahmud: I second you Bilal . ET must take it seriously
Good game
This closes the door for Olympics as well as Asim's career
better luck next time!!
'sent packing', 'crashed out'....I think your journalist should take some language lessons and try to use more respectful language for Aisam in the future. He has done a fabulous job for Pakistan tennis over the years and deserves a little appreciation, I think. To reach the Semi Final of any grand slam event is a tremendous achievement.
Well played Aisam . Keep it up. I read an article after Bhopana left that was almost your 'Tennis career obituary' but you have proven it wrong. Keep working hard, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
No problem. Well played Aisamul haq and his partner
