World no. 5 Simona Halep lost Wednesday evening the game with Johanna Konta, 6-3, 6-7, 2-6, in the quarterfinals of the Miami Open. To reach a spot in the British finals, Halep will compete against the winner of the game between Angelique Kerber and Venus Williams.“My confidence went down because I don’t have many matches this year,” Halep said afterwards, “and she has more matches than me so she is in the rhythm. All the time I put myself down during the points, during the match. Is just my personality to be hard with myself. But I can say that I am better than before and I am working on it.” (mediafax.ro)
