Melanie Oudin is thru to the semi final in Paris!
by bahamaderek on Feb.12, 2010, under Agnes Szavay, Elena Dementieva, Melanie Oudin
Melanie’s magical moment’s gain momentum as she moves into the semi final with a come-from-behind win over Hungarian Agnes Szavay 2-6, 6-4, 6-2. It looked as though she had left her ‘A’ game back in her hotel room as Szavay roared into a 5-1 lead in the first set. Nothing was working for Oudin as she frantically called for her Dad to come to her rescue. I have no idea what he said to her, whether he offered some tactical insight into Szavay’s game or whether he jusr gave his daughter some reassurance. Whatever it was, it worked. From being down a set and at 0-2 in the second set, the young American never looked back.
She will meet Elena Dementieva in the semi final, and with the confidence she is enjoying it will be anyone’s game.
