Stop War, Start Tennis

This article reviews the achievements of Rohan Bopanna and Qureshi Aisam-ul-Haq, as it reached the final of the doubles event of the men's U.S. Open 2010. They have brought a revolution in promoting peace between India and Pakistan. Known as the "Indo-Pak Express".

With this message in the thick of things, Rohan have been hitting AISAM brilliant backhand, forehand and powerful line of the body serves to testify, one to consider.

This is the beginning of an epic saga of two men, one in the baseline, and the other on the network, waiting to pounce on any loose back with absolute cruelty, the breath of the determination to fill their nostrils, as the sweat of perseverance burning passion for the sport in their hearts, and thus put their hearts in the rackets, serving aces and becomes overwhelming.


Two men, who form a large and equally unusual alliance, both on and off the court. From Bangalore, south India, Rohan Bopanna, a name not so famous in the international tennis circuit, although a little in their country of origin, was associated with Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi in 2007 to form the world of tennis Indo-Pak Express. Little was known about them at that point in time. Consuming a good deal of time to realize their potential as a unit, and began as inside and outside partners. But from the moment they started playing together, Rohan and AISAM always monopolized the spotlight, sometimes for their great game of coordination and most of the nations they represented.

Rohan and Qureshi, together have won about 10 trophies challenger, but has not won a Grand Slam. Well, that was very close to achieving that feat in the U.S. Openjust concluded, because it failed in the final by losing to the Bryans in the final. The Bryan bros are the best in the doubles circuit, and have been there for quite some time, with 9 races under his belt. However, they were pushed to the brink of 46 seeds in an effort to add the ninth. The final score read as Bob Bryan / Mike Bryan beat Rohan Bopanna / Qureshi Aisam-ul-Haq in straight sets, 7-6 (5) 7-6 (4). "The Indo-Pak Express was working fine until we find these guys," said Qureshi.

The focal point of the combination of emerging gaming is your great service and powerful ground strokes, which was very difficult for No. 1 seeds as well. Both Rohan and Qureshi healthy experience in the individual version of the game, and for a long time. Both have been on stage for about an ATP decade or so. This is the main reason why the Indo-Pak duo prefer to play in the courtyard located on the baseline, but not missing out on the network.

Interestingly, Bopanna and Qureshi are using the I-formation, which is fairly new to the game of doubles. Here, standing on a path perpendicular to the network, the server and the one on the network. The advantage of this training is that the opponent can not decide how the network will type after the service. Consequently, the server moves to the other side, according to their pre-determined plans. This is very effective in closing statements of the opponents, who are often discharges directly into the medium.

The Indo-Pak Express is the court were as active as they are inside. They used the example of their partnership to launch a new effort, refreshed and rejuvenated for the two brotherly countries to a common peace and harmony with the state of their campaign to "Stop War, Start Tennis' world forum reaching the millions Indians and Pakistanis living outside their homeland too, apart from those living in their own country.

Rohan has said it is a great feeling when you see the supporters of Pakistan rooting for him when he plays with his son, Qureshi. Throughout his campaign, U.S. Open, the ambassadors of India and Pakistan to the United Nations roots and supported them until the end, falling in a blaze of glory.

Everyone aware of his achievement will be recognized for his noble action toward brotherhood and humanity. And the taste was the duo has developed in the mind of the people is evident from the noise level in the sand Arthur Ashe on Friday and the base of support for them.

Even winner Bob Bryan said: "What they are doing is much more important than winning the U.S. Open." The members also decided to give Bryan a part of the prize money to fund aid to Pakistan floods.

His accomplishments on the field, no matter how big or small, will always remain inferior to the impact that this partnership can and is having on relations between the two neighboring countries, and the dialogue process. Unfortunately, they have not been able to show however that there is action, not just the dialogue that can lead to a better and peaceful future.

All of us, both countries are proud of the performance of the duo of inspiration and praise everything for them. But things being equal, when they begin to lose some games, not to win some trophies, when you could expect? Can not be. Here, success is fleeting.

The journey has just begun for the duo, in the real sense, now. It now feels the burden of expectations sub-continental, the wrath of the fans who worship him in their good days and skin stones at a time when you experience a difficult road, a bump in the road.

As for the two of them, we call brothers in arms, separated by the LOC. If you look back in our history, we are children of the same mother, raised by different parents and contradictory. A step back can lead to a whole leap forward, but lacks the courage, from the inside. This is billions of dollars: Can we replace torch light rackets brotherhood?
