The country hosted its first-ever ATP Challenger tournament in Islamabad, a development seen as a major step forward for professional tennis in Pakistan. The event highlighted improving infrastructure and the federation’s efforts to bring international competition back to the country.
PTF President Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi said the achievements reflected sustained investment and increasing depth across age groups.
“Being recognised as Asia’s fastest-growing tennis federation is a proud moment for us,” Qureshi said. “Our juniors and senior players delivered results that underline Pakistan’s potential on the international stage.”
At the junior level, Pakistan claimed gold medals at the Davis Cup Juniors Under-16 event in Malaysia and the ATF South Asian Under-12 Championship in Sri Lanka, underlining the strength of its emerging talent. Pakistani junior players also captured 20 ITF junior titles during the year, with Mikaeel Ali Baig emerging as one of the standout performers.
Pakistan also made a strong impact at senior and masters levels. On its first appearance at the ITF Masters 45+ World Championship in Turkey, the country won two gold medals and one bronze. The wheelchair tennis team added to the medal tally by securing bronze at the ITF World Team Cup qualifiers in Colombo.
