1999. The following year, he reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. He lost to Yevgeny Kafelnikov. El Aynaoui was awarded his second top-level title at Bucharest in 2001. In 2001, El Aynaoui was second in Amsterdam, falling to Alex Corretja in a five-set match of 53 games (6-3, 5-7. 7-6, 7-6. 3-6. 6-4), which was the longest tour final. He was also defeated in Lyon by Ivan Ljubicic.

The most famous match of El Aynaoui’s career came in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in 2003. In the Round of 16, El Aynaoui defeated the World No. 1, Lleyton Hewitt, 6–7, 7–6, 7–6, 6–4, in a very high quality match, thus setting up a quarter-final showdown with the up-and-coming American Andy Roddick (who would reach the World No. 1 ranking later that year). The five- set, five-hour match included the then longest fifth set in Grand Slam tennis history (since surpassed by the marathon Wimbledon 2010 match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut). Roddick won the battle 4–6, 7–6, 4–6, 6–4, 21–19. Both players saved match points before the fifth set ended. El Aynaoui’s one match point came in the tenth game of the fifth set, with Roddick serving at 4–5. Roddick saved the match point with a cross-court forehand winner after a short rally.

El Aynaoui broke his right ankle after finishing second in three tour events in 1996. El Aynaoui had surgery to repair his right ankle in November 1996, but the injury caused him more problems. He missed seven months of 1997’s season and underwent a second operation in February 1998. He was ranked World Number 444 and returned to the tour in that summer with strong results. He won five Challenger series tournaments, and was runner-up in Santiago’s top-level event. He was ranked World Number 49 by the end of 1998 and was named ATP Comeback Player Of The Year for 1998.
