Both were cryptic, Venus especially so. When a reporter asked her what she thought of the potential of Kastakina and the matches they've played, Venus just shrugged and said...."I made too many errors" while shaking her head and "I have to stop making those many errors against her".... Her presser lasted all of 3 and a half minutes. Simona's just over 5 minutes. #ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#

I saw the first minute and turned it off. If I were a reporter, I'd just walk out. Why even bother asking her questions if she is not in the mood of answering them. Just leave her alone.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Halep was pathetic. I couldn't watch the whole thing either. She is not ready. it's too cold. she was not prepared. WTF?#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Simona not being ready for the semi was a ridiculous response, while Venus losing after making unforced errors when it matters is not atypical, for she's done it oft over these recent years. #ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Congrats to Naomi on winning Indy..... Coupled with a nice run by Kasatkina in reaching the final, whipping significant players along the way. There will be many more encounters between the two in the coming years, as the Class of '97 are going to make a significant impact on this Tour. :D
