New York, NY —

Forget swine flu, the fever sweeping Queens is not caused by the H1N1 virus, but by tennis upstart Melanie Oudin. The unseeded teen has doggedly worked her way past higher-ranked opponents at the US Open, including Elena Dementieva, Maria Sharapova, and Nadia Petrova. Tonight, she faces another up and coming teen, Number Nine seed Caroline Wozniacki, of Denmark, at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Joining us from Flushing Meadows is tennis writer Nate Chura.
