US Open tennis update.

Congratulations to 17-year old Georgia girl Melanie Oudin for pulling off her second major upset of the summer. She beat #6 Jelena Jankovic at Wimbledon earlier this summer. Yesterday, she came from a set down and fought off a quadricep injury to beat #4 Elena Dementieva 5-7, 6-4, 6-3. She'll play Maria Sharapova next. If Sharapova's on top of her game, she should be able to overpower Oudin. If she's not, she'd better watch out. Oudin fights about as well as any player, man or woman, I've seen in a long time (with the 2 exceptions of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal).
