Stockholm: Pakistan tennis star, Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi, and his Indian partner Rohan Bopanna won the Stockholm Open on Sunday.
The Indo-Pak duo defeated their Brazilian opponents in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3 in a match that barely lasted an hour.
Marcelo Melo and Bruno Soares were no match for the duo in the €60,000 hard court final. Qureshi and Bopanna split the prize money €29,400 each, also gaining 250 ranking points each.
Earlier Qureshi and Bopanna had won a narrow battle against Dutchman Robin Hasse and Canadian Milos Raonic, beating them 7-6, 3-6, 11-9 in the ATP Gerry Weber Open final in Halle, Germany.
It was the second ATP doubles title of the season and third overall together of Qureshi and Bopanna.
