8th of October, 2000: Caz and myself are just back from Filderstadt, where Magüi played not that great (unfortunately), soon we will add a report about our days in the tournament! Now Magüi plays Zurich, but she has already lost in the singles to Amanda Coetzer 6-4 6-1. The season is almost over for Magüi - a season full of GS successes and of early loses in smaller tournaments.
27th of September, 2000: Magüi now plays at Filderstadt, Germany. Let's hope she can do better here than last year (she lost in the first round). Good luck Magüi!!

19th of September, 2000: Magüi lost 1 and 2 to Nathalie Dechy of France in the first round of the Olympics - Magüi declared later on that she couldn't speak about her game, cause she had not played it in the whole match (and with that result we can believe it..) Oh well, the dream was getting here! ¡Vamos Magüi! I am sure you tried your best!
15th of September, 2000: Magüi will face Nathalie Dechy of France in the first round. Their only previous meeting was won by Magüi: 2R US Open (Aug-25-97): M Serna - N Dechy-Q 6-4 6-4, but that was a long time ago! Let's hope Magüi can win!
Arantxa and Conchita has been rather lucky with the doubles draw, as both the French (n.1 seeds) and the US teams are on the other side of the draw.
¡¡Vamos España!!
13th of September, 2000: The Olympic Games are here!! Magüi is so far out of the seeds (she's n.17) but if Amelie Mauresmo or Nathalie Dechy finally decide to retire, Magüi will land one of the seeds. The draw will be out this Friday - let's hope Magüi doesn't draw one of the top seeds too early! There's only two more days to go!

3rd of September, 2000: Magüi lost in
the 4th round to Venus Williams 6-2 6-2. This has been another good grand slam for Magüi. Now her next tourney will be the Olympics, starting the 18th of September. Vamos Magüi!!!
Magüi made it yesterday to the CBS highlight! Read this article (from Yahoo!):
--------------
WET WINNER (yahoo!)
"Magui Serna found a way to get on the CBS highlight show.
The Spanish player made a bet with her coach, Stefan Ortega, that if she upset Amanda Coetzer in their third-round meeting Friday, she would run through the fountain at the Unisphere, a symbol of the 1964 World's Fair that is located near Arthur Ashe Stadium.
She won 7-5, 7-6 (3), then got wet, making the highlight show for the first time".
2nd of September, 2000: Magüi and Meghann lost to McNeil and Coetzer, 13th seeds today, 6-4 6-4. Magüi will play tomorrow for a place in the QF vs. Venus Williams! Good luck Magüi!!
1st of September, 2000: Magüi, Queen of tie-breaks, reigns supreme! Today Magüi defeated 13th seed Amanda Coetzer (RSA) 7-5 7-6(3), keeping her unbelievable record of late in the tie-breaks! And reaches the 4th round of the US Open for the second time in her career (the previous time was in 1997). Well done Magüi! Next up will be the winner of the match between Meghann and Venus.
A few pics of Magüi's match today!
In other results, Arantxa also moved on to the fourth round in the US Open after def. wild card Amanda Bradshaw.
31st of August, 2000: Magüi and Meghann won their match 6-0 6-2, and move on to the second round in doubles! They will play Coetzer and McNeil (who is, as far as I am concerned, a TOTAL LEGEND!!) for a place in the third round. Go Magüi/Meghann!! Also, tomorrow, Magüi plays her third round match in the singles vs. Amanda Coetzer, a player that has defeated her in their previous five matches.
In other results, Conchita def. Maria Antonia and moves on to the third round (in her 45 appearance at a Grand Slam).

11th of August, 2000: Well, girls and boys, I am off! I will be on holidays from tomorrow on!! I truly deserve this vacation .

22nd of July 2000: after travelling back from Spain (after attending Arantxa's wedding), Magüi lost her match today vs. Dominique Van Roost 6-3 6-0. In any case a good week for Magüi!
: Conchita Martínez had to retire from her QF match today vs. Gala León in Sopot due to an injury. Read what Yahoo! published about this injury:
"Top seed Martinez injured, retires from match at Polish Open"
July 21, 2000
SOPOT, POLAND (TICKER) -- Top seed Conchita Martinez of Spain may have lost more than a tennis match today in the quarterfinals of the $170,000 Polish Open.
Martinez retired from her match today against countrywoman Gala Leon Garcia after falling and suffering a right wrist injury in the eighth game of the first set. She will return home on Saturday to confirm the extent of the injury, although it is believed she may have suffered a fracture.
--------
As you may know, Conchita is one of my absolute favs in tennis! I just hope it's not that serious. Prying here!
21st of July, 2000: Magüi in to the Semifinals!! For the second time in her career Magüi has made it to the SF of a tournament. After def. Patricia Wartusch 6-0 ret, she will have to play the winner of the match between Dominique Van Roost(1) and Dally Randriantefy for a place in the Final. Congratulations Magüi!!
19th of July, 2000: Magüi has def. Justine Henin of Belgium 6-4 7-6(3) in the second round of the Sanex trophy and moves on to the QF!! Magüi will now play either Els Callen or Patricia Wartush for a place in the SF!
Marta Marrero also moves to the QF in the Sanex Trophy. In Sopot, Poland, Conchita and Gala will face each other in the QF. Today's win of Conchita Martinez represents the n.600 in her career. Congratulations Conchi!! :)
18th of July, 2000: Henin def. Hopmans 6-3 1-2 ret, and will therefore be the next opponent - Magüi will play against Henin for a place in the QF. Henin, from Belgium, is a tough opponent, one of the incoming young players with a better future. Magüi and Henin have never faced each other before in a WTA event. Vamos Magüi!!
17th of July, 2000: Magüi defeats E. Loit of France!
The final score was 6-0 7-6 (7-5 in the second set tie-break) to Magüi, who after a brilliant start, had to really fight to win the second set and the match. Loit, I am sure you remember is of infamous memory, as she was the player who defeated Conchita Martinez in the 2nd round of the AO99.
In the second round, Magüi will play either Amanda Hopmans or Justine
Henin, a more difficult match in any case.
17th of July, 2000: Today starts the tourney in Belgium - the
Sanex Trophy, Magüi will play french E. Loit in the first round.
Apparently it has been raining all week long (what's new in Belgium??
, and today, they will be playing the 2nd and 3rd
round of the Qualy, where other Spaniards are still playing. BUT, Magüi's
match is scheduled for today. Good Luck to Magüi!!
Vamos Magüi!!
16th of July, 2000: Magüi will be playing in the Sanex Trophy (Knokke Heist, Belgium) next week. She's the n.3 seed and will be playing Emilie Loit from France in the first round match.
This tourney starts on Monday, 17th of July.
12th of July, 2000: Magüi partnered Conchita Martinez to play doubles paddle match vs. Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario and Spanish President, Jose María Aznar in Barcelona (Spain). The Serna-Martínez duo won the match in three sets.
Added new interviews in the interviews page (in Spanish).

4th of July, 2000 - Wimbledon: Magüi just reached the QF at Wimbledon 2000,
defeating Mary Pierce in the second round! This is the best result
in a Grand Slam for Magüi Serna in her whole career! It also means that her Ranking has improved to the top30, which gives Magüi the clasification for the Olympic Games, one of her dreams!! Well done, Magüi!! :)
