A weird year for Magüi

The year that is about to finish has been very bittersweet for Magüi Serna. She couldn't have started better, because, paradoxically, after eight seasons as professional, she reached the place of 19th in the rankings last January, but at the year's end, due to some injuries and lack of continuity in the results, it has been sad to see her out from the top 100 (104).

Fernando García, Serna's coach, says that his player is getting some fresh air with her relatives, with support and physical condition. Juan Falcón, responsible for the basketball team Gran Canaria, directs her preparation. According to him, three weeks before her return to the competition, everything is going as scheduled and the work invites optimism.

"It's a question of getting confidence and good results so that Magüi comes back to her natural place, that's being top 50, as she has been in the last seven years. There will be few points to defend and every match will be gaining points", the Canarian coach said.
