The 17 year-old United States Tennis Pro Melanie Oudin has once again, proven, there's a new kid in town at the United States Open.
Melanie reached her first U S Open Quarterfinal by beating Russia's Nadia Petrova (1-6, 7-6, 6-3) today, September 7, 2009.
According to USTA tennis legend Mary Carullo, Oudin is the "most wanted" tennis player when it comes to media interviews at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York.
The www.SaintsforSinners.com Blog you are reading now was way ahead of the popularity swirl and first posted a post about Melanie Oudin on June 27, 2009, when it let the public know that Saintly Twins Cosmos & Damien were traveling by bus to London to watch Melanie play at Wimbledon. Cosmos & Damien also noted that Melanie is a twin and her twin sister's name is Katherine. We saw Katherine watch Melanie win her match today in New York and then shed tears of joy because she was so proud of her sister. Cosmos & Damien are very fond of Katherine, as it is has been reported that Katherine has plans to be a medical Doctor like them, only not as surgeons but as an Obstetrician.
Tennis Commentator Mary Jo Fernandez says Melanie's success is a "Cinderella story continued."
All the saints at www.SaintsforSinners.com are cheering for Melanie to win the U S Open, and while its founder, Rob Clemenz, also hopes she wins her first Grand Slam, he can't help but wonder, "Have Melanie Oudin and her boyfriend Austin Smith, been reading this blog, and is Austin wearing one of our medals?
