MELBOURNE: Pakistan’s tennis ace Aisamul Haq Qureshi and his partner Marcin Matkowski of Poland crashed out of the Australian Open after suffering a straight-sets defeat at the hands of famed American duo of Bob and Mike Bryan in the men’s doubles quarter-finals.
The Bryan brothers kept their hopes of a 17th Grand Slam title alive after wrapping up a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Aisam and Matkowski at the Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday.
The American duo took one hour and six minutes to earn the win and a semi-final berth. The brothers led 5-0 after only 16 minutes, before the 15th seeded Aisam and Matkowski gave a much tougher test in the second set.
Aisam and Matkowski were given a walkover into the quarter-finals after the pair of Radu Albot and Hyeon Chung retired in the round of 16 on Sunday. Aisam became the first ever Pakistani tennis star to reach the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.
