LAHORE: By ; Nawaz Gohar

Former Pakistan cricket captain Muhammad Hafeez and Punjab Sports Minister Faisal Ayub Khokhar inaugurated the Khawaja Iftikhar Ahmad Memorial National Ranking Tennis Championship 2024 during a grand opening ceremony at the Sports Board Punjab Tennis Courts, Nishtar Park Sports Complex, Lahore.

The event was attended by Pakistan tennis icon Aisam ul Haq Qureshi, who is also President of Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) and grandson of Khawaja Iftikhar, the family of the late Khawaja Iftikhar Ahmad, top national players, and tennis enthusiasts.

Muhammad Hafeez, widely known as “The Professor,” served as the chief guest, while Punjab Sports Minister Faisal Ayub Khokhar graced the occasion as the guest of honour.

Speaking at the event, Hafeez lauded Aisam ul Haq Qureshi’s contributions to tennis. “Aisam is a true champion and a torchbearer for tennis in Pakistan. Under his leadership as President of Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF),

the sport will continue to thrive and gain nationwide recognition. This championship is a wonderful tribute to his grandfather, late Khawaja Iftikhar Ahmad, a tennis legend who served the game with dedication across the Subcontinent.”

Punjab Sports Minister Faisal Ayub Khokhar highlighted the importance of infrastructure development to support sports like tennis. He said, “It is our responsibility as the government to provide the necessary facilities, and it is individuals like Aisam ul Haq who bring life to these courts through their passion and initiatives. Aisam has served tennis both as a player and now as PTF President, and his efforts to elevate the game are truly commendable.”

The Minister further directed the relevant authorities to upgrade the Sports Board Punjab Tennis Courts, particularly the center court, to ensure it meets international standards and can host global tournaments. He added: “Tennis is an incredible sport, and I have personally started playing it. The government will continue to support initiatives that promote such sports in the country.”

PTF President Aisam ul Haq Qureshi expressed gratitude to Muhammad Hafeez and Faisal Ayub Khokhar for their support and presence, which added prestige to the event. He remarked: “Muhammad Hafeez has been an icon for Pakistan cricket, and his endorsement of tennis is a tremendous boost for the sport.

I am also thankful to Punjab Sports Minister Faisal Ayub Khokhar for his all-out support in organising this championship. With a significant prize pool and participation from top-ranked national players,

this tournament promises to be both competitive and entertaining for the tennis community.” He further added: “The championship is a fitting tribute to my grandfather, late Khawaja Iftikhar Ahmad, who was a pioneer of tennis in the Subcontinent.”
