KARACHI: Aisam-ul-Haq, Pakistani tennis star and his US partner Rajeev Ram, clinched doubles title of the ATP Hall of Fame Tennis Championship, held in Newport.

The top seeded pair of Aisam and Rajeev defeated Austrian duo Matt Reid and John Smith in a thrilling final that lasted 75 minutes.

With this win, Aisam has bagged his fifth ATP title of the year apart from four ATP World Tour ones, all with different partners, and one ATP challenger at Surbiton, UK.
