05/02/02: Magüi's doubles result is confusing. At first it seemed that Magüi and Schett had won by 6-4 and 6-4, but now it seems the right score is that they have lost by 6-4 and 6-4.

21/01/02: Rain hasn't allowed to play many matches today in Melbourne, so we'll have to wait till tomorrow to know Magüi and Conchita's rivals in the quarterfinals. They will be the winners of the match Testud/Vinci-Coetzer/McNeil, in any case, tough rivals. Added Australian Open pics here.

20/01/02: GREAT!!. Magüi and Conchita have reached the quarterfinals after defeating Grandin/Van Exel by a clear 6-2 and 6-1.

11/01/02: The Australian Open draw has been already released. Things seem to be quite good for Magüi. She’ll play the Australian Grahame (wildcard) in the first round and if she wins, and that’s what we hope, she’ll play the winner of the match Obata-Camerin in the second round. The first seed she should play is the Russian Dementieva, in the third round. Let’s hope things go well. ¡¡¡VAMOS!!!. BTW, bad news for Magüi in doubles. The Russian Nadia Petrova, who was going to play with her, is injured, so she’ll have to look for another partner. It’s incredible how unlucky is being Magüi lately in the doubles in the Grand Slams...

09/01/02: What a shame!. Magüi and Asa have lost to Farina/Schett in another close match. The score has been: 6-7(0-7), 7-6(9-7) and 6-3. Well, we hope that Magüi’s draw at the Australian Open (which will be released next Friday) is good. ¡¡VAMOS!!.

In a really close match, Magüi and Asa have defeated Oremans/Testud by 6-7 (5-7), 6-3 and 7-6 (7-3), so Magüi gets this way her first win of the year. In the second round, Magüi and Asa will play the always difficult team Farina/Schett. That will be tomorrow, the fifth match on court 2 (the first one starts at 11 h, local time). BTW, with the final absence of Davenport at the Australian Open, Magüi will be, in principle, the seed number 23 at the Australian Open, in the draw that will be done next Friday.

07/01/02: Bad news from Australia. Magüi has lost to Lisa Raymond by 6-1 and 6-1. A really bad result to start the season, but come on Magüi for the Australian Open, this has just started. Tomorrow Magüi and Asa will play their first-round doubles match. It's the second match on court 8 (the first one starts at 14 h, local time).

06/01/02: Magüi will finally play the American Lisa Raymond, always a tough rival, in the first round. They'll play the fourth match on court 2 (around 6.00 h in Spain). In doubles, Magüi and Asa will play Oremans/Testud in the first round. BTW, if there aren't late withdrawals, Magüi will be the seed number 24 at the Australian Open.

05/01/02: Sydney's draw should be already published, but there are many difficulties to find it, so we'll have to wait to know who will be Magüi's first rival and if she plays tomorrow or not (it seems she'll play a qualifier, and she won't play tomorrow, but it isn't confirmed). What seems sure is that if she wins, she'll have to play the Swiss Martina Hingis in the second round. And what also seems to be confirmed is that she'll play in doubles with the Swede Asa Svensson (before Asa Carlsson). Well, let's hope things go well in the first tournament of the year. ¡¡VAMOS MAGÜI!!.

30/12/01: It seems, Magüi’s doubles partner in Sydney could be the Swede Asa Carlsson, because the player that is going to play some doubles tournaments with Magüi this season, the Russian Nadia Petrova, doesn’t play this tournament. BTW, it’s almost sure that Magüi will have a very tough draw in this tournament, because she has been the last player to enter directly in the main draw. So, let’s hope she is lucky and can start the year with a great win.

30/12/01: Magüi is about to start the season. These are, in principle, her first tournaments of the year: she’ll start in Australia, with the tournaments of Sydney (which starts on January, 6) and the Australian Open. Later she’ll go to Japan to play in Tokyo, and later she’ll play the indoors tournament in Paris. Later, some weeks of ‘rest’ and she’ll go to the USA to play the tournaments of Scottsdale, Indian Wells and Miami.

26/12/01: The season 2002 is about to start. Next week there are two WTA tournaments, although Magüi won't play any of them. But these two tournaments are important because, once played, we'll know the 32 seeds for the first Grand Slam of the year, the Australian Open. We know that Magüi will be one of them, but we'll have to wait a bit to know which seed she'll finally be.
