2009 U.S. Open Round 4 Results: Melanie Oudin Fights into Quarterfinals after Shocking Nadia Petrova in Three Sets

Melanie Oudin has continued her Cinderella run through the 2009 U.S. Open, fighting from a set back to stun Nadia Petrova in three sets 1-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-3 on Monday to advance into her first Grand Slam quarterfinals.

Oudin, still just 17-years-old, struggled in the first set as she had no answer to Petrova’s service game but the Russian quickly fell apart in the second set, committing unforced errors and failing to take advantage of break point opportunities. While Petrova finished with 10 aces she also had 6 double faults and 59 unforced errors. For Oudin, this was her fourth Russian she has knocked off along the way to the quarterfinals as she has taken care of  Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Elena Dementieva, Maria Sharapova and now Petrova.

Oudin turned pro in 2008 and played her first Grand Slam singles event at the Australian Open where she lost in the first round. The American failed to qualify for the French Open but made an impressive run at the All England Club including win over Jelena Jankovic before falling in the fourth round. This is her first appearance in the U.S. Open.
