Wimbledon 2012: Aisam, Rojer bow out despite fightback

LONDON: Pakistan ace Aisamul Haq Qureshi and Dutch Jean-Julien Rojer could not complete a remarkable comeback from two sets down as they were defeated by Jonathan Marray and Frederik Nielsen 6-7(5/7), 6-7(4/7), 7-6(7/4), 7-5, 5-7 in the third round of the gentlemen’s doubles match.

The eighth-seeded pair, who led 4-3 in the third set before play was abandoned on Monday due to rain, came out firing yesterday winning the third and fourth set to level the match at 2-2. However, Rojer was broken deep in the decisive set allowing their opponents to serve out the match successfully to qualify for the fourth round.
