Apart from being able to get the ball back competently and hitting the occasional winner, Oudin doesn't seem to have much of a game. Her greatest asset is her defence, particularly her footwork, but she doesn't make the most of it, because she just hits the ball back without worrying whether or not she's setting the opponent up or not. God knows how Maria managed to do so badly against her!
Worst match of Maria's career. I could have pulled an 'Elvis' and shot my t.v. when she lost to fucking Melanie Oudin. It sickened me when people were getting on the Oudin bandwagon because I KNEW she wasn't shit. That litte bitch has barely won a match since the 2009 US Open. GO MARIA!
Americans should stop their wishful thinking. To quote Jankovic, "Oudin has no game". Let's face it, weak serve, shaky forehand, how can she win a major?
@econfkw hahaa i remember that with Jankovic. they asked Maria the same question after this match. she didnt say anything bad, but she took an extremely long time to come up with something good to say about Oudin's game. I don't think she'll ever win a major, but at her age, she has plenty of time to improve her serve and any other weaker parts of her game.
oudin only won this match because of the DFs from sharapova. look at the stats at the end of the match, when you take away their double faults from their unforced errors tallies (6 for oudin and 21 for sharapova), maria hit many more winners, and less unforced errors than oudin, who is supposedly a counter puncher! how does a counter puncher hit MORE errors with their groundstrokes than sharapova.
@kidd2947 A double fault is When you are serving, do not get either your First or Second serve in correctly, either by dropping the ball in the Net or dont get the serve on inside the Serving lines on your opponents side.
@kidd2947 every tennis player has two chances to hit a serve (not including lets). a fault is either missing the service box, not hitting the ball past the net, or foot fault. you do hit two faults is a double fault and you lose the point
Melanie Oudin played great this match..granted Sharapova played poorly..but you do have to consider that Maria is regaining her old form and Melanie hasn't exactly had an excellent 2010.
when i watched this match i was happy for oudin but I really felt sorry for Sharapova, that had to have been a tough loss. It's a good thing she finally fixed her serve again.
man she is my hero, im about 5''9, which is shore compared to the rest of the male tennis players...BUT SHE IS 5''5...hell i'll give her 5'6...she gives hope to all the players who are under 6 feet...
I remembered Sharapova when she was 17 won over Dokic and Hantuchova at wimbledon and then she's written history now oudin 17 beated Sharapova and wait for the chance to write that oneday and I hope she will
HUGE FAN OF OUDIN!!!

One of the worst matches I have ever seen. And Oudin's "come on" on unforced errors and double faults are flat out annoying.
davidtennis515 1 year ago
@davidtennis515 The "come on" is very reminiscent of Justine Henin. She does the exact same thing. All the time. Every match she plays.
