In the second round she'll play the Italian Mª Elena Camerin.
¡¡VAMOS!!. On Thursday she'll play in singles and doubles.
14/01/02: Magüi will play on Tuesday at the
Australian Open against the Australian Amanda Grahame. It's the
first match on court 18 and starts at 0.00 h in Spain (10 h in
Melbourne). Let's hope things go well. In doubles, Magüi will
finally play with the Spaniard Conchita Martínez. They are the
seeds number 15 and will play Nagyova/Tulyaganova in the first
round.
11/01/02: The Australian Open draw has been already
released. Things seem to be quite good for Magüi. Shell
play the Australian Grahame (wildcard) in the first round and if
she wins, and thats what we hope, shell 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. Lets 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 shell have to look
for another partner. Its 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 Magüis draw
at the Australian Open (which will be released next Friday) is
good. ¡¡VAMOS!!.
08/01/02: Well, things went much better in doubles.
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, Magüis 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, doesnt play
this tournament. BTW, its 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,
lets 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: shell start in Australia, with the
tournaments of Sydney (which starts on January, 6) and the Australian Open. Later shell go to Japan to play in Tokyo, and later shell play the indoors
tournament in Paris. Later, some weeks of
rest and shell 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.
21/12/01: The news of the years 2000 and 2001 can be
seen on News 2000 and News 2001.
