Casablanca \u2013 Following another successful season across the continent\u2019s various age categories, the Confederation of African Tennis has crowned Morocco African tennis champions for the eighth consecutive year.<\/p>\n

The tournament ultimately produced an all-Moroccan final, with Jamji defeating Smihi to become Arab U14 champion, while his compatriot finished runner-up.<\/p>\n
Morocco also secured the girls\u2019 singles title as Yakout El Ghafouli\u00a0 defeated Tunisia\u2019s Mariem Miladi in the final to claim the Arab U14 crown.<\/p>\n
The Moroccan boys continued their success in the team competition, with Jamji, Mouaffaq and Smihi combining to win the boys\u2019 U14 team title.<\/p>\n
The girls\u2019 team, made up of Lilia Jelloul, Joumana El Ouazzani and El Ghafouli, also reached the final, ultimately finishing as runners-up.<\/p>\n
