Younes El Aynaoui

Younes El Aynaoui is, to me, a study in stubborn resilience. Reaching a career-high world No. 14 at thirty-one, an age when most players are fading, says he peaked on character as much as talent. Injuries hounded him so badly he sat out competitive tennis from 2008 to 2010, yet he came back. That refusal to quit is what I admire most. As a Moroccan who carved out a place at tennis's top table, he was something of a trailblazer for Arab and North African players. I picture that towering 193cm serve and quietly tip my hat to a fighter.
