Pakistan's veteran tennis players Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and Aqeel Khan have created history by advancing to the doubles finals at the ITF Masters World Championships. They will compete for the gold medal on Friday against Finland, which pulled off an upset victory over top-seeded France in the quarterfinals.
In the semifinals, Aisam and Aqeel put on an impeccable display, thoroughly outplaying Germany’s Carsten Groeger and Spain’s Pedro Norton with a dominant scoreline of 6-0, 6-0. Further cementing Pakistan's triumph, Aqeel Khan also progressed to the singles semifinals following a closely contested 7-6 (3), 6-4 victory against Jiri Lokaj from the Czech Republic, guaranteeing at least a silver medal for Pakistan in the singles category.
In the meantime, Aisam-ul-Haq will compete in the mixed doubles semifinals alongside a French partner, chasing down another championship.
