PAKISTAN'S Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi only took up tennis to avoid doing homework, but now the doubles specialist is a household name with his exploits at the US Open.
The 30-year-old lost in the finals of the mixed doubles on Thursday but will get another shot at his first grand slam when he teams up with India's Rohan Bopanna in the men's doubles final against the top-seeded Bryan brothers.
Qureshi has already given the people of Pakistan something to cheer about amid the catastrophic flooding in recent months which killed more than 1,700 people and caused an estimated US$43 billion in damage.
Whatever the result, it's been a highly successful tournament for Qureshi. He reached the two finals -- unseeded in mixed doubles, seeded 16th in men's.
"It's been hard times for Pakistan especially in the last two months so to be able to help send some positive news back each day has been fantastic," Qureshi said who received a call from Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani ahead of this week's finals.
