As a little girl grew in Georgia, Melanie Oudin has always been dreaming to play at Wimbledon someday just like her idol Justine Henin.
"My goal has always been to become number 1 in the world one day," said the 18 year Melanie Oudin.

Making her Wimbledon debut as a qualifier, Melanie Oudin joined Venus and Serena Williams in the fourth round at the All England Club by defeating former number 1 and U.S. Open runner-up Jelena Jankovic 6-7 (8), 7-5, 6-2 over nearly 3 hours Saturday in the most startling result of the 2009 Wimbledon Championships’ opening week after Sabine Lisicki beating Svetlana Kuznetsova.
