Though 2011 has been a rough go for 2009 US Open quarterfinalist Oudin, the Georgia peach remains a sparkly and upbeat personality on the WTA. The former adidas-clad (remember those shoes?) is now sporting Wilson, and she makes her way toward the Open with a larger question mark looming over her head: Will she have personalized shoes again?! TSF got the chance to shoot over Mel a few Qs. Here’s what she had to say:
TSF: OK Georgia girl: Fresh peaches, dried peaches or Peach Ring candies?
Melanie Oudin: Fresh peaches.

Completely agree with the above replies. Then again, given her answer to that question, is anyone surprised that she hasn’t tried to change her coaching staff? DUMB. DUMB. DUMB.
She is going to drop in the rankings even further if she doesn’t win her 1st round match at the open.
