MELBOURNE: The dream run of Pakistan tennis ace Aisam-ul-Haq and his doubles partner Marcin Matkowski at the Australian Open came to shuddering halt on Tuesday with a quarter-final loss.
Pitted against the sixth-seeded pairing of Bryan twins, Mike and Bob, Aisam and Matkowski of Poland were blown away in straight sets at the famous Rod Laver Arena.
The American pair, chasing a 17th Gran Slam trophy, needed 66 minutes to beat the 15th seed duo with a scoreline of 6-1, 6-4.

Actually, he was not blown away by the Bryan brothers, he blew himself away. With only 45% first serves in and only 37% win on second serves, even a school champion would have beaten him. I saw the game, it was a pathetic display of ineptitude. Aisam is also getting over weight every day. His days are numbered on the professional circuit. Very sad, because I am a great fan of him
