LAHORE, Aug 4: Aisam-ul-Haq of Pakistan and his partner Santiago Gonzalez of Mexico won the Belo Horizonte ATP Challenger Championship in Brazil defeating an all-Brazilian local favourite pair of Danial Silva and Caio Zampieri in the final.

In the second set the battle was more keenly fought and the set went into a tie break before Aisam and his partner won it at 7-6(3).

This was Aisam’s 54th international title.
