Pakistan tennis ace Aisam-ul-Haq has followed up his men’s doubles win at the French Open in Paris with a comfortable victory against the top-seeded pair of India’s Sania Mirza of India and Sweden’s Robert Lindstedt.
Partnered by Zimbabwe’s Cara Black, Aisam was in full flow during the opening round match of the mixed doubles event. He and Cara cruised to victory against the fancied duo of Sania and Lindstedt 6-2, 6-3.
Lindstedt is regarded among the best doubles players in the world and is currently ranked number three in the international doubles rankings. Sania, too, is regarded among the leading doubles players having won an Australian Open and a French Open mixed doubles titles with fellow Indian player Mahesh Bhupati.
According to information, Aisam and Cara broke their opponents three times in the first set and wrapped it up 6-2 in 26 minutes. They continued to serve strongly in the second set and saved the only break point that they faced to take the second set 6-3 in 32 minutes to cause a major upset in less than an hour.
On Saturday, Aisam and his men’s doubles partner Jean-Julien Roger beat Slovakian pair of Aljaz Bedene and Grega Zemlja 7-5 6-1 in their second round encounter.
