Moroccan tennismen continue their rise on ATP standings

Moroccan Tennismen, Hicham Arazi and Karim Alami, continued their rise on the ATP standings.

Arazi, who reached the third round at last week's Monte Carlo Open, jumped to the 31st rank from 37. Alami made a more spectacular progress to 37 from 46. Two weeks ago, Alami was World N¯ 83. He owed his rise to a brilliant performance in Barcelona and Monte Carlo tournaments.

Another Moroccan, Younes Al-Aynaoui, who failed to go beyond the first round in Monte Carlo, maintained his 36th rank.

The three Moroccan player's progress may provide them with a stimulus for this week's decisive Davis Cup match against Yugoslavia in Casablanca.
