Pakistani tennis ace Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and his Indian partner Rohan Bopanna were ousted in the opening round in the doubles event of the ATP Legg Mason Classic. The fourth seeded Indo-Pak pair fell 6-7(1) 7-6(6) 3-10 to the unseeded Mark Knowles of Bahamas and Xavier Malisse of Belgium after putting up a gallant fight for one hour and 47 minutes. Knowles and Malisse came into the tournament with a title win at Farmer’s Classic last week. They had beaten the pair of Somdev and Treat Conrad Huey of Philippines.
