Venus Williams For Indian Wells semi-final

Venus Williams, Seven-time Grand Slam winner reached the WTA Indian Wells semi-finals for the first time since 2001 on Thursday by routing Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain 6-3, 6-2.
Despite the windy conditions, Williams improved to 5-2 on the season, which includes a third round win on Monday over sister Serena, who was making her return to the WTA after having a baby.
“You kind of hope for this kind of scoreline, but you never know if you’re actually going to get it,” Williams said.
Williams, 37 is the oldest player in the women’s draw and has played sparingly this year but is just beginning to step up her game.
She next faces 20-year-old Russian Daria Kasatkina, who cruised to an easy 6-0, 6-2 victory in 58 minutes over the world number 10 Angelique Kerber.
