17-year-old Oudin loses at Wimbledon

WIMBLEDON, England — American 17-year-old Melanie Oudin (oo-DAN) has been eliminated in the fourth round at Wimbledon

Oudin, a qualifier from Marietta, Ga., lost Monday to No. 11-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska (ag-nee-ESH-ka rad-VAN-ska), 6-4, 7-5.

Missed chances hurt Oudin. She flubbed an easy volley to lose the first set, and she was up a break in the second set before her surprising Wimbledon came to an end.

Oudin pulled the biggest upset in the first week of the tournament by beating former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic. Oudin was the youngest American to reach the women’s fourth round at Wimbledon since Jennifer Capriati was a quarterfinalist in 1993.
