Melanie Oudin American tennis player former World Junior No. 2

Melanie Oudin (born September 23, 1991 in Marietta, Georgia, United States) is an American tennis player and former World Junior No. 2. Her career high rank is World No. 31, which she achieved on April 19, 2010.
Oudin is of French descent and has a twin sister, Katherine, and a younger sister, Christina. She was home schooled from seventh grade on so that she could have more time for tennis practice, but admits envying her twin sister's experiences at a regular school. She says her idol is Justine Henin because "she proved you don't have to be tall to win things." Her grandmother inspired her and her sister to play tennis when she gave them racquets and lessons when they were young.

Melanie Oudin Power

Melanie Oudin Image
Oudin is a defensive counterpuncher. She uses her speed and footwork to get balls back from the other side of the court. Her best shot is her forehand which she can really hit with power. Her slice backhand is basically defensive but accurate. Oudin can get any ball near the service line or close to the baseline which gives her more speed and power on her shots. Good dropshot and clean volley are useful assets in her game as well.

Michael Jordan Basketball Player

LeBron James. Dwight Howard. Kobe Bryant. What do they all have in common? They won't be appearing as the cover athlete on 2KSports NBA 2k11 basketball game. That honor apparently belongs to Michael Jordan. Yes, that Michael Jordan. Lets make some history, shall we?
...multiple sources have told ESPN that the company has gone in a completely different direction, signing basketball legend Michael Jordan as its new spokesman. This will be the first time that a former player will appear on the front of the box for 2K, and with Jordan taking over majority ownership of the Charlotte Bobcats, it will also be the first time that a team owner will endorse the popular franchise. In addition to acting as cover model for "NBA 2K11," the speculation is that Jordan will also be digitized into a playable character. This means gamers will become the virtual MJ in hopes of reliving some of his trademark moments. (via ESPN)

Apparently, the brand that is Michael Jordan is still strong enough to push video game sales, at least according to 2K Sports. So strong in fact, that not only did 2K Sports choose Jordan over the superstars of today, they also decided to add some other players from the Jordan era,

There's more. I've even heard whispers that 2K has been in negotiations with several players (both teammates and opponents) from the Jordan era to appear in "2K11" to help gamers and history buffs accurately recreate the heated competition between the classic Bulls and rivals like the Celtics, Knicks and Cavaliers. But since 2K needs to ink all former players to individual contracts, it's still up in the air whom the company will be able to sign in time to appear in the game.

If I remember correctly, before it was all said and done, Michael Jordan wasn't even appearing in the annual basketball games, because developers weren't willing to shell out the cash for the license to use his image and likeness (ala Barry Bonds in baseball games). Now, all of these years later, not only do we get MJ in a video game...but on a cover? Will wonders never cease...

Katarina Srebotnik Bio & Pics

The Slovenian - one of the world's top doubles players - has happy memories of Wimbledon for she won the junior title here back in 1998. Has yet to make a big impact at senior level though with the last 32 being her best effort. Recent form gives hope that reaching the second week is possible though. Made the fourth round at the French Open where title favourite Serena Williams was sent packing. A lower seed who could shine.

Katarina Srebotnik was born March 12, 1981 in Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia. Srebotnik is a Slovenian professional tennis player, coached by Biljana Veselinovic. Srebotnik is right-handed, 1.80 m, weighs 65 kg and lives in Dubai. She reached a career-high ranking of No. 20 on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour on August 7, 2006. Her nickname amongst fans is Kata. Although she has a career-high of No. 20 in singles, she has had better results in the doubles circuit. With 18 victories in WTA doubles tournaments (as of July 2008) and a career-high doubles ranking of No. 3, she is considered as one of the best doubles players on the WTA Tour.

In juniors, Srebotnik won the 1998 Wimbledon singles title and was singles runner-up at the US Open. Srebotnik attained the second spot on the junior rankings in 1997 and 1998. Katarina Srebotnik made her ITF Debut in 1995. She won the ITF singles tournament in Ismailia (1996), Zadar (1997); Sibenik (1998) and in Dubai (1999). In 1998, Srebotnik won her first Tour doubles title at the Makarska Open (with Tina Krizan), and became later that year doubles runner-up at Maria Lankowitz (also with Krizan). In 1999, her win at the ITF tournament in Dubai, gave her 'feed up' direct entry into her first-ever singles Tour event at Estoril, where she became the fourth player ever to win her Tour debut event by defeating Kuti Kis in the final. She broke into the Top 100 on April 12, 1999 at No.88. Srebotnik reached the semifinal at Palermo, and played in her first Grand Slam main draw at Roland Garros, losing in the second round; but winning the mixed doubles tournament with Norval.


Katarina Srebotnik's best season to date was in 2005, highlighted by two singles and four doubles titles, and her career-best victory over Amelie Mauresmo. Srebotnik captured her third and fourth career Tour singles titles at Auckland (defeating Shinobu Asagoe in the final, while she also teamed with Asagoe for the doubles title) and in Stockholm (defeating world No.14 Anastasia Myskina in the final, and teaming with Emilie Loit for doubles title). Srebotnik was the only player in 2005 to sweep singles and doubles titles twice. She also finished runner-up at Portoroz, losing to Koukalova (now Zakopalova ) in three sets in the final. She also became runner-up in doubles with Kostanic.

Srebotnik reached the quarterfinal five times, at Tier II Antwerp (lost to Anastasia Myskina), Tier I Charleston (losing to Elena Dementieva in three sets), Budapest (losing to Laura Pous Tio in a third set tie-break), Tier I Zurich (upset No.4 Amelie Mauresmo 6–2 6–0 for her career-best victory en route; losing to Ana Ivanovic) and Hasselt (losing to Safina in a third set tie-break). Her best Grand Slam finish was the third round at Wimbledon (losing to Maria Sharapova 6–2, 6–4, but she was the only player to break the defending champion's serve before Sharapova's semifinal loss to Venus Williams).

A new career-high singles ranking of No.28 came on November 7. In addition to Auckland and Stockholm, Srebotnik also won doubles titles at Budapest and Hasselt (both with Émilie Loit). She reached the US Open mixed doubles final (with Zimonjic; losing to Daniela Hantuchova/Mahesh Bhupathi). Srebotnik withdrew from Canberra with a left adductor strain.
