Russia's Ekaterina Makarova is the giant killer at the Australian Open 2012 Grand Slam tournament . After knocking out Kaia Kanepi and Vera Zvonareva in the previous rounds, the unseeded Russian has upset five-time champion Serena Williams in straight sets to reach her first quarterfinals at the Australian Open.
Makarova didn't give Serena Williams of US any chance to recover as she completed an easy 6-2, 6-3 victory over Serena.
“I think she played really well,” Serena Williams said in the post match press conference. “She went for broke on a lot of her shots. I made 37 errors. That kind of tells the story of the match.”
Makarova will play compatriot Maria Sharapova in the last 8 round. The No. 4-ranked Sharapova came from a set behind to beat No. 14 Sabine Lisicki 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 at the Rod Laver Arena on Monday night.
