[F] (2) BOPANNA Rohan (IND)/ QURESHI Aisam-Ul-Haq (PAK) l (1) DE VOEST Rik (RSA)/ MOODIE Wesley (RSA) 46 67(4)

With this another Challenger final Rohan will move around #66 and Aisam around #86 in doubles ranking .. I think their combined ranking is still not sufficient for doubles direct entry in AO 2008.

Aisam's impressive run in singles continue ... Now he is having good chance to win his first singles Challenger title.
