Dear All,

Today has been an extremely difficult day for Pakistan tennis, as one of our upcoming junior players Zainab Ali Naqvi passed away last night from a cardiac arrest in Islamabad. She was scheduled to play her first-round match in the ITF J30. To honor her, PTF has decided to name the court, on which she would have played her match today, after her.
PTF has also decided to honor Ejaz Mushtaq, Kashif Sikandar, and Shahzad Sikandar, who tragically passed away in Wah Can...tt. in 1996 by naming a court after them. This decision will be approved by the Council Members in the first PTF AGM of my tenure.
These bright, young stars of Pakistan tennis left us too soon, but they will be forever remembered and missed. Moving forward, one of our priorities is to ensure players receive the respect and honor that they deserve. As a first step, we have decided that the ITF J30 in Islamabad next week will be called the Zainab Ali Naqvi Memorial ITF J30.
