The "Mysore Pak" or RoBoAiQu (Bopanna-Qureshi) thread..

[prasen9]

It is not practical to change partners in the middle of the year. Because of the year-end tournament to start with. If you have not got many points in the first half, then may be it will happen. But, that is for non-functional pairs.

[sameerph]

The pair is back on court this week .

At €1,369,305 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament, Rotterdam

[R1] (4) Rohan Bopanna (IND,13) / Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi (PAK,18) vs. Johan Brunstrom (SWE,44) / Jarkko Nieminen (FIN,95)

Match is today at 2 pm on court 1.

[Tolamu]

Shocking loss for (4)RoBoAiQu in STB in a tight match 6-7(4) 6-2 9-11.

[sameerph]

And RB-AQ were leading 7-2 in the super tie break only to lose 9 out of the next 11 points.

Indo-Pak express does not seem to be on track so far after getting back together although they did reach 1 ATP final in Australia. Need to get cracking in big tournaments soon.

Why is this post not called "INDO-PAK EXPRESS" ??

[sameerph]

Because we wanted a unique name given by the forum rather than the usual one in the press.

Rohan was also quite annoyed by yesterday's loss. He tweeted -

Playing tennis for 22yrs and still amazes me, I don't no how we ended on the losing side after being up 7-2 serving in the super breaker.

[sameerph]

Only Rohan & Aisam are playing at Monte Carlo Masters.

At At €2.9M Monte-Carlo Masters, Monaco

[R1] Rohan Bopanna (IND)/ Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi (PAK) vs Julian Knowle (AUT)/ Vasek Pospisil (CAN)

Tough first round as expected in this high profile tournament.

[bujilover]

I dont think Vasek Pospisil is in form to give a fight in doubles.Havent seen him much as a doubles prospect either.Hope our pair prevails easily.

[Tolamu]

Bop/Que won 7-6(2) 6-4.

[Omkara]

Good news...

[Tolamu]

[QF] Rohan Bopanna (IND)/ Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi (PAK) l. (3) Ivan Dodig (CRO) / Marcelo Melo (BRA) 67(4) 57

[krinix]

Bopanna-Qureshi loose to Melo and Dodig 67(4) 57

Not what they hoped at the start of the season. Struggling to put some victories together. They should have been right there with the bryans, Peya/Soares at the top.

Nestor/zimo, the Spaniards are clearly out of form as well.
