Tajikistan .

Mikaeel Ali Baig, Pakistan’s talented young tennis star, had an exponential rise in Asian Tennis Federation ranking as he started 3 weeks ago being unranked and due to his successful performance will be in top 40s in next week’s published Asian Tennis rankings.

Mikaeel, who arrived in Dushanbe 3 weeks ago to play back-to-back 3 ATF 14U tournaments was unseeded and unranked. In each tournament, Mikaeel defeated top seed players on his way to finishing the tournament. His first ATF earned him a second place Silver medal. In second ATF he grabbed 2 gold medals winning first place in singles and doubles. And in his final ATF tournament, Mikaeel gets a bronze for 3rd place.
PTF & STA congratulate him for this remarkable performance.

Undoubtedly, this was an exceptional performance in three weeks from this young tennis star who had a singles 13 games win streak and only 2 losses. It’s hard to maintain such a streak by anyone in back-to-back tournaments.

In conversation with us, Mikaeel said, “I am of course sad that I lost in semi-finals yesterday, but it was to the #1 seed. We had a great match, there were times when I was in the lead, and then he was. The match lasted 3 hours, and the outcome wasn’t what I had hoped for. We learn from our losses, this is what my mother tells me. There was a lot that I did learn about myself from not only this loss but also from these last 3 weeks. I am still on a developmental

journey. I have many people in my corner who support me and wish me well, I thank all , believing in me. Know that I am still on a journey, there will be up’s and downs and I am still learning. I have yet a lot to achieve and lot more to

do in life. I am constantly working on improving myself And I hope that along this journey I continue to make my

family proud and earn more laurels for my country. I have two goals: to help people of my country as best as I can and to represent my country in Davis Cup. I hope in years to come I can achieve both.”
