BTW, you are the one hearing Venus' footsteps. Take an inventory of your own "malicious" thoughts!!

She's not very friendly to the other wta players and just about every player in the locker room has said so#ed_op#/strong#ed_cl#. Now you add trying to gain an unfair advantage to that along with her sense of entitlement and you can see why there is this feeling about her. Except to her devoted fans of course who would still love her even if she were to walk down 5th Ave and shoot someone.

 And sent to prison like Marion Jones. The results would've been like night and day.

From The BBC:

"...The same fierce hitting seemed like carrying Sharapova all the way at 4-1 up in the second, but Halep recovered with five straight games to level.

With the error-count growing, it appeared Sharapova was running out of gas, but after a six-minute bathroom break she returned rejuvenated for the decider.

Once again she raced ahead, building another 4-1 lead, and this time she would not be pegged back..."

Q. You obviously had the momentum at the end of the second set. Before the third, she left the court.

SIMONA HALEP: Like always.

Q. Did that throw you off at all?

SIMONA HALEP: I'm used. When I play against her, she does that all the time. So I didn't think about that. It's her style and I don't comment.
