Karachi, Sep 28 (PTI) Pakistan''s tennis sensation Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and his Indian doubles partner Rohan Bopanna will be up against Bryan Brothers in Dubai in December to garner funds for the flood-affected people in the country. "It is great idea and I am thrilled to be part of it to help my people affected by the floods," said Aisam, who along with Bopanna had finished runners-up at the US Open earlier this month. Lahore-born Aisam also reached the mixed doubles final of the same grand slam event. "We had preliminary meetings with the organisers and we may hold the event in Dubai in December," Aisam said. Pakistan doesn''t boost of any big tennis stadium and Aisam hoped that Dubai will turn out to be good venue to raise funds. "It can attract community from Pakistan, India and other countries and can help in raising sufficient funds," Aisam Qureshi said. Dubai is also home to ace tennis star Roger Federer and India''s Sania Mirza and Aisam hoped they could also be part of the fund-raiser. "We are working on the plan and details and it will be finalised in due to course of time," he said.
