The duo will face Great Britain’s Jamie Murray — older brother of former world No.1 and three-time Grand Slam singles champion Andy Murray — and Bruno Soares of Brazil on Thursday.
In 2010, Aisam became the only Pakistani tennis player to reach the final of a Grand Slam competing in both mixed doubles (partnering with Květa Peschke) and men's doubles (partnering with Rohan Bopanna) at the US Open.
