As an unseeded player, Melanie Oudin's U.S. Open loss to No. 29 Alona Bondarenko can't properly be called an upset, but safe to say the home crowd was rooting for her to reprise last year's captivating run to the quarterfinals. Alas, it's not to be, as Oudin fell 2-6, 5-7 in second-round play. (The shoes, though adorable, don't appear to have powers.)
Bondarenko will be an entertaining player to watch in the third round, at least -- tied up late in the second set, she could be seen squalling at her coach (to whom she happens to be married) in the stands. She advances to take on No. 6 Francesca Schiavone.
