You do not have to know anything about Tennis or the US OPEN which has dwindled down to the Quaterfinals.......to appreciate the story that has unfolded.............
It is a dream come true for a 17 year old girl from Georgia who has turned this Tournament "upside down"........Upsets draw some people to watch sports they may have no real interest in........but in this case "the world" is spellbound.....
Melanie Oudin is an accomplished teenage player ( ranked 70th) who has completed a feat that in her heart she felt was possible.......but "Vegas".....a resounding "NO"
Melanie has been to Centre Court four times in the US OPEN Tournament and she has victories over the following Russian Players; Pavlyychenkova (ranked 36th),Dementieva (ranked 4th),Sharapova (ranked,29th),Petrova (ranked 13th).......Where she goes from here is anyone's guess.....
It is this young girl against the rest of the remaining Professional Tennis Players left in the hunt.....
Remember the old saying " when Preparation meets Opportunity" anything is possible......
