Melanie Oudin is off to a poor start in her quarterfinal match against Caroline Wozniacki. She's down a break at 0-3 in the first set and has hit six unforced errors and one double fault.
The crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium is still filing in, so the atmosphere on the court is a bit odd. There's murmuring, little cheering and lots of movement. It's like one of those early games in the NCAA tournament.
Since her win on Monday, Oudin has become a media sensation. Could it be that the pressure is finally getting to her? Or is this one of her patented slow starts?
Oudin has been down a set in each of her last three matches, so an early three-game deficit should hardly be reason for concern.
