The countdown your course. There are only two weeks left until the Xº World Junior Championship begins. From the Spanish Federation they want us to know a little more closely the players that will defend our country. Today is the turn of Marina Gonsalves.
Padel World Press .- Head of series number 1 in Cadet Feminine Category, a privilege that she shares with her partner Carlota García, will represent Spain for the first time in a World Cup. With great enthusiasm, Carlota will also play the tournament in pairs.
With much desire to face and enjoy this important challenge, he said: "It is a pride to be part of the national team. For any athlete, it is the greatest thing to aspire to. It's a dream come true. "
When talking about the components of the national team in its category, can not avoid remembering the current champions of Spain, especially his countrywoman, Araceli Martinez. "If we talk about what could be, Araceli, current Champion of Spain and Murcia, could be in that short list. However, the selection is very well made, since the technicians are fixed in the whole of the season and not in a single Championship ".
In that sense, Marina and Carlota look at their rivals from the top. It is a privileged position that they have achieved based on effort and determination. "Carlota is the 50% of the team. Without it I would not have been able to be where I am now, in the 1 number of the Ranking. In addition, I will have her in Mexico, as I am also a member of the National Team, so the adaptation to the national team will be easier for me ".
Marina's season has gone from less to more. He did not play the first T & C of the season and then beat, very tightly, in the next. The culmination of the campaign was the achievement of the Master in mid-October. "In the first T & C we fell in the Pre-Round. Despite this, we managed to overcome and win the next. A shame was the Spanish Championship, where we lost in semis. I did not know how to take the game forward. Still, the season has been a success. We have placed ourselves at the top of the ranking based on perseverance ".
To get that high, he has had to stay strong in the clashes he has played. "One of my greatest virtues is without doubt the mentality, I do not come down easily even if we lose. I also stand out in the attack game, the volley and the shot are two aspects that give me many points on the court. I should improve the tray. It's a technical blow that sometimes resists me. "
In Mexico, Marina will play its umpteenth 2015 Championship. As he said, will be a few days in which he will try to make the most of the experience. "When we are not competing, if we have exams, it's time to study. Otherwise, it is difficult to visit the city, since the hotel is often far from the center ".
The young Murcia enjoys when she is not competing on television, and declares herself an absolute fan of realities as Big Brother. "I can not help it, I like gossip. But I also follow the series with devotion, especially the Spanish ones ".
One step closer to #MundialMenores2015... A date that we will be very aware of and in which the young promises of the national padel will make us vibrate with their magic and their talent.
