Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi claimed their second successive doubles title after outplaying Mustafa Ghouse and Joshua Goodall in the summit clash of the USD 25,000 ATP Challenger tennis event in Nottingham, UK on Saturday.

The third seed Indo-Pak pair, which had won the title in Manchester, got the better of the second seeded Indo-Briton pair 6-3, 7-6 (5) to garner 50 ATP points. The losing duo received 35 points.

However, Qureshi, top seed in the singles event, missed the chance to make it a double delight for himself as he went down fighting in the final match 3-6, 6-4, 4-6 against second seed Australian Alun Jones.

Bopanna, who had beaten Qureshi in the last-eight stage at Manchester last week, had already withdrawn from the grass court tournament with gastroenteritis.
