NEW YORK - The preparation for the head of a practice session, Melanie Oudin has been slow out of Arthur Ashe Stadium, the other day when three women approached the darling of the 2009 U.S. Open. They say this is an inspiration Oudin and asked if he could take a picture. Oudin obliged, and posed smiling for three of the many fans who have probably never heard of the son of Marietta, Georgia, a year ago at this time. She entered the U.S. Open, his fourth career Grand Slam, ranked 70th, after cutting three major champions Maria Sharapova and the 2008 Beijing Olympic gold medalist Elena Dementieva on the way to reach the quarter-finals. Oudin returns in mid-game, the attitude of Gee Whiz and pink shoes and yellow with Believe printed on the heel of honor. His victories made him, at 17, the youngest of the quarter-finals at the U.S. Open since Serena Williams in 1999.

Melanie Oudin has not let the pressure of expectations as disturbing in its first game of the 2010 U.S. Open. After the quarterfinals last year, she is seeking another term important in the tournament this year. She had a good start, taking the first set of Olga Savchuk in the first round match. Oudin saved two break points to three, and then all Savchuk broke to 4-3. It served to all with ease, and won 6-3 in 38 minutes. The second round is underway.

It became a kind of flashback to last year, the reappearance of Melanie Oudin in the court of Arthur Ashe Stadium: play even brave, implacable, it was pushing, shouting: 'Come!' In its even in the big points. On Monday, a second round for the first time in U.S. Open Oudin, she wasted no time reviving a cruise some of the magic of last year, a victory of six -3, 6-0 victory over Olga Savchuk of Ukraine. In the years since his graduation party marking the entrance to the Open, Oudin has been unable to replicate this success, but coming back as an idea more. 'It was good to be back here and listen to the crowd,' said Oudin. 'Being in Ashe again and play, no matter who played. It feels good to be back.'
