Pakistan has won global titles in hockey, squash and cricket. But tennis player Aisamul Haq’s feat of reaching the finals of both the men’s and mixed doubles at the US Open, holds a special place in Pakistan’s sporting achievements. Whatever he has managed to do is only through his effort and support of the family. The Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) or the national sports bodies can’t claim any credit to Aisam’s recent feat.I am an Olympic gold medallist myself and come from a family which figured in all the three gold medals won by Pakistan at the Olympics. But I think Aisam’s accomplishment, considering the timing plus the message he conveyed to the world, would always be talked about.
