Wilson Tennis On the Rise with Melanie Oudin

Melanie Oudin from the U.S has caused some upset at Wimbledon today, when she eliminated former number one Jelena Jankovic 6-7 (8), 7-5, 6-2.

It appeared that Jankovic struggled with the hot sun on the court and a doctor came out at one point to check the athlete's pulse and blood pressure. She rested for a while before continuing the match, but Oudin proved to be the better player and knocked out the former number one.

The 17-year-old Oudin had an 0-2 record in Grand Slam matches before making her Wimbledon debut this week.
