India-Pak tennis duo complete doubles' hat-trick

Indian tennis player Rohan Bopanna and his Pakistani partner Aisam-ul-Haq have completed a hat-trick of doubles titles after winning the Castilla y Leon ATP Super Challenger in Segovia, Spain.

The Asian pair beat Michel Kratochvil of Switzerland and Gilles Muller of Luxembourg in the final of the 125,000-dollar tournament by 7-6 (8), 6-3.

The third-seeded pair had earlier won doubles titles at Manchester and Nottingham, England recently. The duo had first won a Challenger doubles title together in 2003 at Denver, US.

The win brings Aisam's doubles ranking just inside the 130 mark, and a successful past couple of months have left his singles ranking just outside the top 150, the Dawn reported.

While 27-year-old Bopanna, who has six Challenger doubles titles on his name, has broken into the top-100, and is at 92.
