Bopanna-Qureshi book ATP Finals berth
India-Pakistan duo of Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi has booked a berth in the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals to be held from November 20 to 27 at London's O2 arena.
The "Indo-Pak Express", who have got a bye in the opening round of the ongoing BNP Paribas Masters in Paris, will be making their team debut at the season finale, which will feature the top eight doubles teams.
The duo have pocketed two ATP Tour Titles -- at the Gerry Weber Open and the Stockholm Open -- and made the quarterfinals and semifinals of more than five ATP 1000 Masters events this year.
The US Open semifinalists became the seventh team to join the elite list which will battle it out at the Tour Finals. "This has been a great year for us. We are very excited to be playing against the best of the world. All our hard work has paid off. We are glad we met the goal we had set for ourselves earlier this year," Bopanna said. "This would not have been possible without the help and guidance of Shayamal Vallabhjee, Robert Davies and the rest of our team," he added.
The duo have come a long way, from being last year’s reserve team to getting a shot at the title this year.
