Karim Alami (Arabic: كريم علمي) (born May 24, 1973 in Casablanca) is a tennis player from Morocco, who turned professional in 1990. He represented his native country as a qualifier at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, where he was defeated in the first round by Switzerland's eventual winner Marc Rosset. The righthander won two career titles in singles (Atlanta and Palermo, both in 1996). He reached his highest singles ATP-ranking on February 21, 2000, when he became the number 25 of the world. Very impressively, he defeated Pete Sampras in the first round of the 1994 ATP Doha tournament, a year in which Sampras dominated the tour.
