Career breakthrough for the 25-year-old El Aynaoui [110]. As an Arabic speaker he received “wild card” and defeated two Top 10 players (Enqvist, Muster). In the final he played very good 2-hour 22-minute match being two/three points away from winning both sets he lost (in the first tie-break he led 3:0). Korda [41] waited more than two years for his another title; he’ll also win in Doha ’98.

Korda’s route to his 7th title:
1 Filip Dewulf 6-3, 6-2
2 Michael Stich 6-3, 6-4
Q Magnus Larsson 6-4, 7-5
S David Prinosil 6-7(4), 6-1, 6-3
W Younes El Aynaoui 7-6(5), 2-6, 7-6(5)
