Heat, Pressure, Ekaterina Makarova Do In Eugenie Bouchard

— -- NEW YORK -- Ekaterina Makarova has been to a Grand Slam quarterfinal before, but odds are she could walk through the middle of the Billie Jean King USTA National Tennis Center without attracting a crowd of autograph seekers.

Which is the way the 26-year-old Russian likes it. "I think I prefer to stay in the shade," said Makarova, smiling. "But I'm kind of, yeah, want to stay in my world maybe. I don't want to be so, I don't know. It's just my personal thing."
