Not since 17 year old Venus Williams stormed into the '99 US Open
and fought her way to her first Grand Slam final has women's tennis
seen a supernova like Melanie Oudin ('oo-DAN') illuminate the sky
above The US Open in Flushing Meadows, New York.
Her electrifying Round 4 victory today is merely the latest in a series
of dismissals of top Russian women. In order, she beat up on world
#4 Elena Dementieva, Maria Sharapova (#29) and today #13 Nadia
Petrova. In all of those matches, she lost the first set, only to come
back stronger and tougher to take the remaining two. And in all of
those matches, her competitors stumbled off the court, burnt out and
baffled at how their game fell apart.
Does she have the fuel and fire it takes to fight through the quarters and semis to reach the final?
BELIEVE IT.
The custom-made Adidas sneaks that Oudin wears say 'believe' on the heel.
