A thread dedicated to Younès El Aynaoui only is needed instead of having one for both El Aynaoui and Hicham Arazi.
Here are the last messages regarding Younès:

Well after a first round loss in Metz against Mayer in 3 sets, Younès played the qualifying in TMS Madrid beating Nicolas Lappenti 7-6 6-4 and losing in the final round to Chela 6-4 3-6 7-6. Then he played the qualifying in Lyon beating Dupuis 6-2 6-3 and losing in the final round to Mahut 7-6 6-4. This week he got a WC in Aachen Challenger, beat Lipkus in first round 6-1 6-4 and lost in the last sixteen to Korolev
3-6 6-3 7-6. Korolev is playing the final tomorrow.
Unfortunately, El Aynaoui is not playing in Bratislava CH or Eckental CH next week.
Does somebody know a little bit about his scheddule for the end of 2005 ? Thank you so much for your help.

Latest news: thanks Nathii.

After Aachen, Younès El Aynaoui is in Barcelona in the Emilio Sanchez academy in order to practice.
He asked for a WC from the Luxembourg Challenger but he did not get an answer yet.

Go Younès

Younes obtained a WC in the Ukraine Challenger starting November 14th ( Ch 125.000 USD). He will play KARANUSIC, Roko (CRO) in the first round.
Then maybe Bracciali in the second and why not Hanescu in the quarters.
Seeds: Hanescu (1), Rusedski (2), Sanguinetti (3)...
Good luck to Younès. I think he can win some matches here even if the draw is far from being easy!!!

Dick Norman defeats Younès El Aynaoui 6-3 7-6 in the semis but it's OK, hopefully a lot more to come especially in 2006

I assume he's now at home in Spain practicing for the next season. But I don't know anything definitive either.

no news about Younès ??

pete25 · 12-15-2005, 09:06 PM

I met Younès El Aynaoui yesterday in Casablanca, and he told me he would play in the Atp event in Doha (first week of january 2006).
He's thinking about playing also the challenger in Doha the week before.
Physically, he's OK.
However, I did not have the opportunity to ask him about the Aus Open and if he's willing to play qualies there.
Good luck Younès for the 2006 season. You can make another sensational comeback.

Jelena · 12-16-2005, 01:31 PM

VAMOS YOUNES!!!!!!!!!!!

Nathaliia · 12-23-2005, 10:18 PM

You met Younes ? Lucky you

Younes plays Q in Doha challenger, he's seeded 1.

pete25 · 12-24-2005, 10:41 AM

I'm wondering why he plays Q in Doha Challenger. He's 228. Maybe he registered late to the tournament. But since he has a wild card for the Doha Atp event, why didn't he get a wild card for the challenger too ?
I think he wants to play more matches for training purposes.

pete25 · 12-25-2005, 11:02 AM

He has a Bye in first round of Q and he beat yesterday in 2nd round Gregorc in straight sets. In the qualifying round, he will play againt Kloer today.
I think he'll qualify and win the whole tournament.

pete25 · 01-03-2006, 09:44 PM

I never stoped believieng in Younès' abilities to come back. Remember he made it to Top 50 in 1993 then lost his tennis to become 200 or 250. Started a first comeback in the summer of 1995 and became 46 after his final loss in Doha in January 1996 against Korda. Then injured badly his ankle the following week in Jakarta in the final against Schalken. Then completely disappeared and became 600 in the world. Then the unbelievable story began: missed nearly from 1996 to June 1998 !!!! when he started a second huge comeback winning a lot of challengers on clay and becoming the great Younès we all know from 1999 to 2003 with a best entry ranking of 14 in 2000 and 2003 and a leading position in the race after his win in Doha in 2002!!! Then the tremendous performances of two 1/4 finals in grand slams in 2003 in the Aus Open and the Us Open and the fabulous and heroic match against Roddick. We all remember Younès's match point at 12-11 in the 5th and finally the win of Roddick 21-19!!!!! Then another serious injury after his 1/2 finals at TMS Madrid in October throwing him back to number 600 in the world !!!!! This time Younès is 33 and nearly 34 years old, did almost nothing during 2 years in 2004 and 2005 except a huge surprise in TMS Montreal beating F.Lopez in round 1 and a very promising 1/2 final in the challenger of Ukraine in November 2005 beating Hanescu in straight sets in the 1/4. Well I sincerely think this is another formidable comeback starting at the start of 2006. Younes is 228 and just played a great match to beat Sebastien Grosjean in round 1 in Doha. He's 34 and still gives it all. Congratulations Younès. Nobody came back 3 times except maybe Agassi (I'm not sure: I think he came back only 2 times!!!). I hope Younès will have a great year with decent performances. Remember 48 at the end of 1993 then 250 then 46 in the start of 1996 then 600 then 14 in 2000 and 2003, then 600 in 2005 and now 228. I am delighted Younès.

katica · 01-04-2006, 11:55 PM

too bad he lost with tursunov

i saw the match with grojean and must tell that have been a wonderfull match ! great! Younes played very well and both have done a very good match! the best match in this year

I was happy about the win vs Seb too.

pete25 · 01-06-2006, 11:17 AM

Yes Jelena, I know his bithday, 33 was in the context of 2004-2005.
U can read again.
Does anybody know his schedule in the coming weeks ??
Thanks

pete25 · 01-07-2006, 01:11 PM

Does anybody know Younès schedule for the coming weeks ?? I can't find info. Please help

pete25 · 01-12-2006, 11:28 AM

I'm still unable to find info about Younès El Aynaoui concerning his plans for the coming weeks. Please respond to me if you know something.
Thank you so much.

pete25 · 01-21-2006, 04:29 PM

News about Younes ?? Will he receive a WC in Heilbron ? Andrezieux ? Marseille ? Rotterdam ?

pete25 · 01-24-2006, 10:05 PM

This is really unfair to affect such a wonderful player's dignity and make it public. Younes El Aynaoui has always been a great example to follow inside or outside the court. All people that met him will be more than happy to tell what a true gentleman he is: always smiling, respecting everybody, and being so patient with fans and the press.
That's why he is so respected. I mean everubody loves him.
Just as an example, Younes decided to support financially an orphanage in Morocco by providing all what is needed for young kids there to play tennis. He also pays for trainers that come 2 or 3 times each week to the orphanage to train those kids.
We all know that Younes El Aynaoui has been many times elected a member of the Board of Pro Tennis player thans to his professionalism. He was elected the first ambassador of of Tennis in 2003 while Agassi was elected second. This simply shows how this guy puts all efforts to promote tennis worldwide. He has given a lot to this sport.
Moreover, It is true that marijuana is not supposed to be taken by players for ethical matters, but I think everybody knows that it has never been a doping substance that enhances performance. In addition, it was just an exhibition, not a tournament linked to the international tennis federation.
With all my due respects to the Italian tennis federation, making public such a minor thing and affecting Younes' dignity while this person is so respected worldwide just makes me sick.
I mean this guy is almost 35 years of age, has had terrible injury problems; and for the 3rd time in 13 years, he is making probably another sensational comeback without any doping. I repeat marijuana does not enhance the performance of a tennis player (it alters the performance actually !!!).
I read today that Younes El Aynaoui risks a 3 months ban for this.
Please I'm begging all tennis fans worldwide to join forces for showing the maximum support for this great person in order to avoid the 3 month ban. Younes simply does not deserve this.
Please use whatever you can to spread the message. We, as tennis fans, should have the last word in this matter.
I'm begging you to try to understand my feelings and thoughts.
Please don't let Younes down
