The match was one hour and six minutes long before Bryan brothers got the better of the Pakistani national. The match took place at Rod Laver Arena and Aisam’s team lost 6-1 and 6-4 in two straight sets.
First set belonged completely to American brothers as they led 5-0 just after 16 minutes. However, Aisam and Matkowski gave a tough time in the second set but were eventually defeated 6-4.
Rady Albot and Hyeon Chung made the journey relatively easy for Aisam’s team. Adu and Hyeon retired in the round of 16 which paved the way for Aisam and Matkowski to reach round of 8 as they got the walkover.
The tennis star also became the first Pakistani ever to reach the quarters of Australian Open.

Unlucky Aisam. I just hope the next government really focuses long and hard on sports and its infrastructure. Pakistan has the talent to excel in Olympics but the money and infrastructure is just not there. Big failure of our governments
Well there goes another down under
