Tennis: Pakistan #1 beats world #1 on his homeground


KARACHI: Pakistan’s tennis ace Aisamul Haq Qureshi and his Swiss doubles partner James Cerritani brushed aside tennis great and world number one, Roger Federer and his Swiss compatriot Marco Chiudinelli in straight sets at the Basel Open in the Swiss city on Tuesday

Qureshi was at his serve-and-volleying best in the round-of-32 match as he and Swiss Cerritani cruised to victory against the world number one Federer and Chidudinelli in two sets, 6-4, 6-3 to book their place in the quarter-finals of the 2.6 million-dollar ATP tournament.

Playing in the world number one’s hometown, the Pakistani player and his partner were in control of the match from the first game and although Federer and his old friend Chiudinelli produced moments of brilliance, the grit and powerful serve-and-volley game of Qureshi and Cerritani proved too much in the end.

The Pak-Swiss pair will now play tournament first seeds Daniel Nestor (Canada) and Nenad Zimonjic (Serbia) in the round of 16.

Serena williams at US Open

Another US player who has proved to be a disaster ...first that hill billy Oudin who sent the beautiful russians packing and then the woMAN Serena ... she has got legs/biceps stronger than a man !!! the women from the US Open have been disappointing and boring, and they still can't win the right way ...

Serena was shouting in the semi final as if this one point decided the match ... C'mon, it was just a lousy point, she didn't act like a champion and that is a big shame ...





A champion gives credit to the winner... not b**ch about it ...
