Bob and Mike Bryan added another championship plus trophy to their fantastic career. They are number one and played their best.
Yet, the show was stolen by Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and Rohan Bhopanna by giving Bryan Twins the toughest time of their career.
Losing to world's Number One pair is just a part of the game. But, playing double finals of doubles is an achievement for Qureshi (DDQ - Double Doubles Qureshi). He won the hearts of millions of Pakistanis back at home where unprecedented floods have displaced millions and deprived them of everything including hundreds of lives. Qureshi has become a household name in Pakistan in a couple of days. He has given people hope and rejoice after the agonizing pains, shame and sorrow of Cricket Spot Fixing Scandal.
The Indo-Pak Express, as they are known in the international media, are also acting as ambassadors of peace. Their pair in the tennis courts is an alarming and formidable force to be taken notice of and their friendship off the grounds is examplry.
Bryans will have to watch them in the future encounters because they have been beaten by Aisam-ul-Haq and Bhopanna in Washington last month. One of the twins admitted that this was their career's best match.
People of the sub-continent look forward to more victories by the duo and they definitely realize the gravity of the onus that they are carrying on their shoulders from now on.
