The team, which has been aptly named the “Indo-Pak Express,” has been very successful in recent years, and made a well publicized run to the finals of the US Open last year, where they ultimately lost to the famous Bryan brothers. Earlier today, the team defeated the number 2 seed to move on to the semifinals in the ATP Monte-Carlo Masters Tournaments. They will now meet the unseeded team of Chela-Soares in the semifinals.In the midst of this run, Qureshi has not lost sight of his true goal, which is doing whatever he can to promote peace between Pakistan and India. He recently wrote to Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani informing him of his idea of a “tennis for peace” match to be played on the India-Pakistan border. The pair has always been vocal about promoting peaceful relations, as last year the advocated for an idea to put up a tennis net across the Wagah boarder as part of an initiative they called “Stop War, Start Tennis.”
These ideas have gotten support from many people and organizations including the International Tennis Federation and Peace and Sport, along with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
With all of this support and goodwill, it is certainly very likely that these two countries will be able to peacefully settle their differences. Now is a great time to call your family and friends back in India or Pakistan, especially since you can do it by simply dialing a local number with StanaCard! Also, when you recommend your friends or family, we’ll not only give you $10 to thank you, we’ll also give them $10 just to welcome them aboard!
