Wozniacki Wins First Set 6-2 Over Listless Oudin

American phenom Melanie Oudin dropped the first set of her match against No. 9 seed Caroline Wozniacki, 6-2. The 17-year old upstart was broken three times and looked listless at points.

Oudin went down 0-3 early, which never allowed the crowd to get into the match. Much of the pro-Oudin fans had yet to arrive by the time the match started, since the afternoon to evening turnover caused long lines at the gates.

In the set, Oudin's body language was almost as poor as her lethargic footwork. (At one point a fan yelled "move your feet!") She snapped at ball boys, moping after particularly bad unforced errors and scowling at the crowd when somebody yells her name before the serve. Could the added pressure of being America's next tennis sweetheart have her unraveling?

Though she dropped the first, it's way too early to count out Oudin. After all, she did the same thing in each of her past three matches (including a 6-1 thumping on Monday).
