KARACHI: Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and his partner Rojer Jean-Julien lost the semifinal of Open de Nice Cote d’Azur 4-6, 4-6 to Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan on Friday in France.


With the defeat in this ATP 250 tournament against world number three doubles players from United States, Aisam’s chances of securing a berth at the London Olympics 2012 have further diminished.


The Pakistani player is currently ranked 16th in individual ATP doubles rankings, down from 14 two weeks ago.


Now, with about 15 days left in the cut off date for the Olympics, Aisam will have the last chance to make his ranking better by appearing in Roland Garros (a grand slam) to be started from May 27 in Paris.
