I have heard of Qureshi before as a Top 200 singles player, but I was very surprised to see his name on the roster of the finals in both the Mixed Doubles (with Kveta Peschke of the Czech Republic) and in the Men's Doubles (with Rohan Bopanna of India). Incredible achievement for someone from Pakistan, a country that does not really have a tennis winning tradition! He's now 30 years old and from what I've read, he's one of those players who does serve-and-volley tennis. His partnership with Rohan is very interesting since India and Pakistan does not really have a very peaceful history between them, so with both Rohan and Aisam playing together, they are able to build a bridge of peace between the two nations, using the sport of tennis, as the platform.
