Miami Open: Halep breezes past Venus Williams; Hsieh Su-Wei continues good run

The Hindu  

Simona Halep got the better of Venus Williams once again as the Romanian made light work of the 38-year-old American to book a place in the Miami Open quarterfinals with a 6-3 6-3 triumph. Halep, the highest seed left following Naomi Osaka's exit on Saturday, has now won her last four meetings with Williams, their previous encounter before clashing at Hard Rock Stadium coming earlier this year at the Australian Open. “She never gives up, she fights for every ball so I tried to keep her close to the baseline.” Williams' serve deserted her in a first set which saw the reigning French Open champion establish an early 3-0 lead and although the American responded with her own break soon after, she was unable to back it up. Hsieh Su-Wei, meanwhile, continued her excellent form with a 6-3, 6-7 6-2 win over Caroline Wozniacki and will play Anett Kontaveit after Canada's Bianca Andreescu retired with a shoulder injury in the second set.
