The issues of the Pakistan Tennis Federation are in a dispute because of personal interests that clearly promote Trump’s sports promotion.
Despite a prolonged performance, tennis has always created excitement in sports epiconoids. The failure to tap in the youth talent pool and the lack of manufacture behavior has left Pakistan tennis at the mercy of the individual ambitions of the test and test faces, which have failed miserably to create a pond of young players capable of competing internationally.
Look at some of the current PTF administration’s “achievements”. The PTF organized a Thanksgiving Ceremony at its tennis complex in Islamabad, in which the recent decision of the Islamabad High Court was declared in favor of “victory”. Such events should be allocated for athletic achievements, not resolving legal matters. The court simply directed the angry parties to present their case to the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB), and made the final results unmanageable.
Resignation and internal dissatisfaction
After deepening the crisis inside Pakistan tennis, PTF head coach Asim Shafiq and Assistant Coach Nomanul Haq presented their resignations from the National Training Center (NTC) earlier this year. Their decision was not sudden, but it was due to months of growing frustration of PTF, and this has increased the number due to the overall shortage of contradictory policies, and its overall decline.
The coaches felt the edge of the key decisions and were ignored by a structural training program, limited resources and absence of repeated intervention by non -technical officials.
The situation reached an important place when their professional recommendations were repeatedly ignored, and the training camp was either unsatisfactory or completely canceled, often at the last minute.
The resignation of two highly educated, experienced and respected coaches reflects massive instability within the federation and has raised concerns about the future of players’ development in Pakistan. Without the announcement of an immediate change or succession plan, the technical leadership space has raised serious questions about the PTF’s commitment to make a sustainable development path for young skills.
Davis Cup failure and absent officials
The men’s Davis Cup team has also performed less, recently lost to Barbados, and Uzbekistan. To achieve the international exhibition, top players Mozam, Shoaib, and Nile were sent to Tunisia for three ITF tournaments. He played ten qualifying matches and won only one win, without any ATP ranking point.
Nevertheless, Pakistan’s Davis Cup team needs to prepare for the next critical tie against Paraguay, top PTF officials are allegedly enjoying their time in Wimbledon in London, rather than monitoring the team’s training and team strategy. The loss in the next Davis Cup tie against Paraguay can push the team to the lowest regional level, after repeating the women’s team’s destiny in Asia/Oceania Group III.
The junior level’s anxiety
Pakistan’s junior tennis teams are also struggling. In the U -16 Junior Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Qualifier, Pakistan won 12th out of 16 countries. The inclusion of a player in the United States resulted in controversial loss to India, after which the PTF chief was forced to issue a public amnesty from the Indian team. Similarly, the U -14 team ended its campaign 14th of 16 partners.
Do not make promises and financial disorders
Increasing the organizational instability, the Pakistan Tennis Federation has been operating without the secretary since November 2024, following the resignation of Arif Qureshi, a senior official with years of experience in the sports administration.
Since then, there has been no formal appointment to fill this role, which has raised serious concerns about budget monitoring, distribution of international funds, and overall financial accountability. The absence of a competent finance head for more than six months highlights the federation’s irregular internal structure and a lack of urgency in solving governance issues.
This continuous space also raises doubts about PTF’s international tennis body, corporate sponsors, and the Pakistan Sports Board, the ability to manage future financing, all requires strict financial compliance and transparent reporting.
The PTF chief repeatedly promised that he would bring ATP tournament to Pakistan but nothing has happened in that direction. It should not be difficult for tennis fans to determine whether PTF deserves to be held such events.
For now, the question remains: Without any victories in the court, how is the Pakistan Tennis Federation celebrating exactly?
