Pakistan's Qureshi and his Dutch partner Rojer capture Halle

Pakistan's Aisam ul Haq Qureshi, who last year paired with his former Indian partner Rohan Bopanna won the ATP Halle men's double event, successfully defended his title and won the Gerry Weber Open 2012 Sunday.

However, the only difference was that this year, he won the Halle title with his new new Dutch partner Jean Julian Rojer. The pair beat Treat Conrad Huey and Scott Lipsky 6-3, 6-4.

After the win, Qureshi told ATPWorldTour.com:

“I knew it was going to be a tough final. I played Huey three times this year and Lipsky twice, so we had a little bit of an idea on what to do. Because they had lost to us, we knew they would come in pumped, so we expected them to play really well.” 

Qureshi and Rojer improved to a 2-0 record in title matches, having lifted their first team trophy in Estoril (d. Knowle/Marrero). Both won their seventh career ATP World Tour title.
