Monday, September 7th, 2009 · Watching 17-year-old U S Open tennis phenom, Melanie Oudin we can't believe it! Or, even better, we CAN believe it. As she said after her match with Petrova, I just started to believe I could win. And yes, those shoes that are so perfect for her - even they say "believe" on them - an idea she says her boyfriend contributed. It's happened not only in that match against Petrova, but all the way through the U. S. Open. She's turned into a powerhouse player this tournament. Ranked 70th she's been beating them all...so far at least. They are calling her Cinderella, but as stated earlier (Oudin bests Sharapova/Petrova), "They call it a Cinderella run. Don't you believe it. No fairy godmother plucked Melanie Oudin out of obscurity, and handed her a magic slipper. She worked for it, she focused, and as she has said, she believed she could do it."
