NEW YORK (AP) -- She sat there in shock. Then, the tears started falling.
Believe it or not, 17-year-old Melanie Oudin is the toast of the town at the U.S. Open.
Gritting her way through a shaky third set, the 70th-ranked player from Marietta, Ga., pulled off her second upset of the Open on Saturday, defeating a more-seasoned, more-famous, more-moneyed opponent -- 29th-seeded Maria Sharapova, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Maria Sharapova simply couldn't bear the thought of a U.S. Open taking place without her. So while sidelined with a torn shoulder a year ago, she refused to follow the tournament on TV.
Basically pretended it wasn't even happening.
