Simona thoughts before the IW translated from Romanian not by me but its accurate. I read the original.
------------
"I didn't think yet of what is my goal for IW but I hope to play well. In US it was hard for me to play in the past, It was difficult to adapt to the food but I hope I will prepare very well for this tourney. It was difficult for me to play in Paris and Budapest (indoor, FEDCUP) because they are slow surfaces which is hard on my ankles and tendons. I like to play 'the hard' like the ones from Doha and the 'american hard'."

Exactly what I said here about the rubber surfaces in Paris and Budapest. They were slowing her down. She is not even top 30 on rubber
Thank god there arent many rubber surfaces on the tour.
She also said that she will play
for sure in IW and its only an inflemation of the achilles
