Melanie Oudin’s US Open run over after 2 rounds
NEW YORK — Melanie Oudin’s U.S. Open run is over after two rounds this year.
Oudin lost a sloppy match to 29th-seeded Alona Bondarenko of Ukraine 6-2, 7-5 on Wednesday. The teenager from Marietta, Ga., captivated fans with her surprising run to the quarterfinals last year.
The 43rd-ranked Oudin didn’t make it past the second round at any Grand Slam this year after also reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2009.
Bondarenko, who has advanced to at least the third round in the previous three majors this season, earned the victory with just four winners. Oudin had only nine — to go with 38 unforced errors.
