While the 2017 Australian Open finale between two legends of tennis was one of the most anticipated sports matches in India, it seems that wasn’t quite the case with Pakistan.
Yes, the Pakistani citizens were deprived of the golden opportunity as no TV channel showed the summit clash between the legends of the game. And the tennis fans over the country went disappointed and frustrated.
Taking a dig at this, Former Pakistani cricketer-turned-commentator, Ramiz Raja branded his nation as sports unfriendly as none of their channels telecast the match live in Pakistan.
Unbelievable: We are such a sports unfriendly nation that no channel showed the iconic Federer Nadal Australian Open final..shameful ..
