Personal

He is the son of Lindsey Iftikhar and has one sister Anoosha. His hobbies are exercising and reading. His cousin, Aisam Qureshi is ranked world's #8 in ATP doubles. His greatest thrill while participating in sports is "the burn." He plans to major in Philosophy.

Head Coach Alan Dils on Iftikhar:

"We expect great things from Sammy when he gets healthy. He is extremely fit and is willing to grind down his opponents. His first tournament has showed what he is capable of."
