The unusual Indian-Pakistani pairing have been going around the All England Club wearing tracksuit tops reading "Stop War, Start Tennis" on the back.

"When we started out in tennis the tension between India and Pakistan wasn't something I cared about, I was playing with my friend," Qureshi told the BBC.
"Over the passage of time, we've seen a bigger picture apart from tennis, and it's about changing people's views. If we can change even one person's view, we'll take it as a positive.
"It's really nice to see Indians and Pakistanis sitting together supporting one team. You don't see that anywhere else, in any sport. Our on-court and off-court relationship proves that Indians and Pakistanis can get on fine."
