Mens Doubles Final
(16) Rohan Bopanna (IND)/ Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi (PAK) l (1) Bob Bryan (USA)/ Mike Bryan (USA) 67(5) 67(4)

Rohan and Aisam played above their own expectations to gave superb fight to WR #1 pair ... In this match all players hold their serves ... Rohan and Aisam missed some break point chances on Bryans serve ... In first tie-break also our guys were up with mini-break 3-1 but lost next 4 points and were down with min-break, they again take mini-break back to make it 5-all but Rohan missed volley on his serve to gave set point to Bryans, who converted it ... In second set also Bryans managed to lift their game in crucial points and hold stiff challenge from Rohan and Aisam.

This was huge experience for our pair, who was playing in their first major final ... But after seeing this performance it looks they r going to stay with these top pairs in coming years ... Well done Rohan and Aisam, we r proud of u.

Q. Could you foresee, perhaps, going to both countries and playing exhibitions?

BOB BRYAN: That would be great. You know, we would love to do anything with those guys. I'm sure those guys are rock stars in those countries right now. We've seen what Mahesh and Leander have done for tennis in doubles over in India, and I could see the same sort of excitement behind these guys. So we'd love to go over there and check it out, get a feel for what's going on.
