MAGÜI MAGÜI SERNA ONE STEP FROM THE FINAL

The Canarian Magüi Serna gave a step more to the final after defeating today the young Dutch and resident in Gran Canaria, Chayenne Ewijk by 6-4 and 6-4, in the fourth day of the tournament WTA Ciudad de Telde "Open Casino Las Palmas", which is being played on clay at El Cortijo Club de Campo.

Today with more crowd than yesterday on the grounds, she got rid of her rival with balls on the lines and drop shots, although the Dutch made a very brave tennis and with quality.

The young Dutch moved all over the court trying to reach all the balls that Serna hit with intention, getting it many times, but with the sliced drop shots Serna hurt her rival.

Chayenne Ewijk has caused great impression in her match against Serna, getting many claps by the crowd. However, Magüi Serna gives one step more to the final.

Difficult job for Magüi Serna, who'll play tomorrow from 17 h the Belgian Kirsten Flipkens, who has defeated this afternoon the Ukrainian Yulia Beygelzimer by 1-6, 6-2 and 6-4. The Belgian player is playing a wonderful tournament, after having won last week the tournament WTA Ciudad de Las Palmas.
