Indo-Pak Express Back On Track
The Morning Standard|March 03, 2021
Even as sporting relations between India and Pakistan have continued to suffer after the Pulwama terrorist attack in 2019, one of the most-popular teams is coming back after a gap of seven years. Rohan Bopanna and Ai sam-ul-Haq Qureshi, who took the tennis world by storm thanks to their on-court performances and off-court diplomacy, will be teaming up at the Acapulco Open, an ATP 500 meet in Mexico, slated to begin on March 15.

Indo-Pak Express Back On Track

It was a straightforward decision for the pair who spent a lot of time together in Melbourne this past month. “We spent a lot of time together in Australia,” Aisam, World No 49, told this daily on Tuesday.

“There we spoke about playing the Open in Dubai, Bops (Bopanna) was also looking for a partner. Unfortunately our rankings didn’t allow us to get into the Dubai meet. We got in Acapulco instead. Really excited about sharing the court with Bops again. Hopefully we can hit it off, feel comfortable with each other, let’s see. I hope we can play some more tournaments in the near future.”
