Definitely agreed, lots of hype around MU…………honestly she is such a great player, and M will definitely shine more throughtout the rest of the year

We are going to see plenty of M. O. in the coming years. I would bet on that one.

@TheFanChild, by temporary plateau do you mean artifical high?

6-8 hrs training…… that’s what it takes to be a pro on the womens tour. So I don’t wanna hear anyone say these girls are just swimsuits. You have top be an athlete to get there and stay there.

I know Melanie’s at a temporary plateau – but I feel that bigger things are in store for her…It’ll be huge if she can build on her strong Fed Cup effort against France.

Without question, the media pressure has had a negative impact on Melanie. In a video on her web site, Melanie talked about her experience at the US Open: “It happened so fast, that I didn’t get a chance to learn how to handle anything. It was just so overwhelming.”

Great interview, Paula!

Melanie definitely has a bright future, but I wonder if her struggle since the USO is partially due to the hype built around her. America’s been looking for another great star and the pressure has been placed squarely on Oudin’s young shoulders.

Looking forward to watching her grow, mature, and hopefully, develop into a solid and consistent force on the women’s Tour.
