I don't know if it is a curse or something but Aisam has been playing since late 90s. He was declared a potential grand slam winner as early as 2001 by none other than Ivan Lendl. Yet the success has always eluded him. Australian Open 2011 was no different as well.

This time Nanad Zimonjic of Serbia & Michael Llodra of France defeated the Indo-Pak Express by 3-6 7-6 7-6 at Melbourne on the eighth day of the first Grand Slam of the Year 2011.
The French-Serbian pair was seeded eighth in the event as against Indo-Pak pairs seeding of 10th and they showed better mental resilience and toughness to oust the South Asian duo.
The match lasted for less than only 27 minutes as Aisam and Bopanna proved fragile in pressure-cooker situation.
If that was not all, Aisam-ul-Haq also lost in the mixed doubles event. He was partnering Kveta Peschke of Czech Republic and was shown exit door in the very first round by an unseeded local pair of Rennae Stubbs and Chris Guccione.
