Pakistan’s Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and Dutch partner Jean-Julien Rojer saw off the fighting duo of Xavier Malisse of Belgium and Ken Skupski of Germany in a five-set thriller to reach the Men’s doubles third round at Wimbledon on Saturday.

Qureshi and Rojer began in dominating fashion, requiring just 25 minutes to take the first set 6-3. Malisse and Skupski, however, rallied back bravely to push the match to the limit but eventually fell against their much-experienced opponents 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, 6-7, 8-6.
