Oudin and Federer Ready For The Next Chapter of US Open - - What Next???

Melanie Oudin hits centre court again on Wednesday in the next chapter of her Cinderella story when the 17-year-old American takes on Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark in the quarter-finals of the U.S. Open.

Oudin, who has captivated Flushing Meadows crowds with an electric run past a battery of Russian favourites, will match her gritty groundstroke game against 19-year-old Wozniacki under the lights at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The teenagers are the opening act of a night programme that closes day 10 with five-times champion Roger Federer taking on Robin Soderling for a semi-final spot.

Top seed Federer has been down this grand slam road before, beating the 12th-seeded Swede this year on his way to the French Open and Wimbledon titles.

The day matches set up the other semi-finalists in the top half of the draw.

Fourth seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia, the 2007 runner-up to Federer, plays 10th-seeded Spaniard Fernando Verdasco, and Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium will be up against Ukrainian Kateryna Bondarenko in a quarter-final match-up of unseeded players.
