Melanie Oudin’s US OPEN Run Is Over She Is Eliminated In The Quarterfinals Of The US OPEN.

Danish teenager Caroline Wozniacki  of Denmark,  easily defeated American teen Melanie Oudin 6-2 6-2 in the US OPEN quarterfinals. Caroline is more mature on the court,  took all the pace off the ball, looping her forehand, and  forced  Melanie to generate her own pace.

Melanie had a total of forty three errors in the match.  This is the first time I have ever watched Wozniacki play, she doesn’t have a lot of power but she is very consistent.

Wozniacki forced Oudin to hit hard and Oudin wasn’t able to be “patient” enough in the baseline rallies.

I believe the hype and media attention was just too much for Melanie. Melanie is very talented, but the media attention was just too much.

Melanie should be very proud of herself, she will now be ranked in the top fifty of the WTA Tour. I sincerely hope that Melanie continues to work  on her game. I believe Melanie needs a bigger serve if she wants to to reach the  top ten.

Oudin should be commended for beating top players Elena Dementieva, Maria Sharapova, and Nadia Petrova.

Melanie was a bit tired and not thinking clearly on the court. Caroline deserves credit for playing steady, boring, and unspectacular tennis.

Controversial Track Star Caster Semenya’s New Look!!!!

Last month,  at the World Championships in Berlin, South African track star Caster Semenya was involved in a gender controversy. Semenya won the gold medal in the 800 meters track and field women’s event. However, the IAAF ordered Semenya to undergo gender verification tests. Some  people believe Semenya is actually male and not female.  Now,  Semenya’s image has transformed, she looks very feminine on the cover of a South African magazine.
