Russia Ekaterina Makarova's run at the AEGON International continued today after she pulled off another upset over third seed Samantha Stosur. This is becoming one heck of a week for the Russian. If you look at the players she had to defeat to get to the final she would seem like a Top 10 player.
Marakova defeated Flavia Pennetta in the first round, then Nadia Petrova in the second, and Svetlana Kuznetsova in the third. She did it in straight sets for all her matches.
Regardless of whether Marakova will win Eastbourne or not, she should be happy with her performance for the week.
