    Pakistan tennis Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi failed to win his first Grand Slam doubles title when he and partner Kveta Peschke lost to Liezel Huber and Bob Bryan in Thursday's mixed doubles final.

    The US top seeds defeated Qureshi and his Czech partner 6-4, 6-4 at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the crown.

    This was Bryan's fourth US Open mixed doubles title in eight years, each of them coming with a different partner.

    Qureshi is now hoping to win the men's doubles final with Indian player Rohan Bopanna.They will play against the formidable Bryan brothers-Bob and Mike.

    After his match on Thursday, Qureshi said he was hoping to win a grand slam title as tribute to the 21 million flood victims in Pakistan.

    Peschke said that she was proud of the effort put in by the duo in a first-time pairing. (ANI)
