Morocco's Al-Aynaoui in world top 30 tennis players

Moroccan tennis player Younes Al-Aynaoui became this week the first Moroccan to accede to the top 30 players of the world.

Al-Aynaoui owed his spectacular progress to his excellent performance in last week's Swiss tournament of Cstaad, where he played the semi-final against Spain's Albert Costa.

Al-Aynaoui has been in constant progress since the beginning of the year, after an ankle injury last year that made him slide to the 200th rank on the ATP standings.

His talented countryman, Hicham Arazi, comes in 39th in the world standings, while Karim Alami is 72nd.
