In the ATP Entry Ranking List of Monday 3 November 2003 is a new
Moroccan Ranking Record. Younes EL Aynaoui set a new Record by been
the First Moroccan Tennis Player Ever to reach number 14 in the
World. Younes EL Aynaoui moved one Spot from 15 to 14. He could be
number 13 like his Champion Race End Ranking at number 13, but
Nicolas Massu from Chili did won points from Challengers Tournaments
which doesn't count for The Champion Race Ranking but do count for
The Entry Ranking.
So Younes EL Aynaoui breaks his Own Record of Number 15 in The World
which he sat in 15 May 2000.
EL Aynaoui is finishing the Year at the best position in his whole
career. He had also the possibility to finish in TOP10 and to play
in the Masters Cup but the injury didn't help him go so far.
If EL Aynaoui didn't go to Masters Cup, this was in favor of his
compatriot and close friend Hicham Arazi who played his best
tournament of the year by reaching the ¼ finales in Paris Bercy
coming through the qualifications.
Hicham Arazi ended his Champions Race Ranking at number 48 and Entry
List Ranking at number 52 which is 38 places better than his End
Entry Ranking of 2002 at number 90.
With his new ranking at number 52, Hicham will be able to play in
big ATP Tournaments without playing the qualifications.

I think the Season of Tennis of this year is coming to an End just
left the Masters Cup.
It's now time for our players to take rest and Ramadan is a good
occasion to rest from a heavy tennis year Tennis.

Ramadan Moubarak Kareem for Every Body.
