"  If you haven&amp;#039;t been watching the U.S. Open so far, it&amp;#039;s time to start. Why? Because Melanie Oudin, a 17-year-old tennis player from Marietta, Georgia, is the story of the tournament! One week ago she was virtually uknown, and now \u2014 as the youngest American woman to make the quarterfinals since Serena Williams in 1999 \u2014 she&amp;#039;s breathing new life into the sport. (Think about it: Melanie was only seven when it happened to Serena, and now she could end up playing her this week. Pretty cool, right?) Aside from Melanie&amp;#039;s never-give-up attitude on the court and her poise and grace during her post-match interviews, we&amp;#039;ve also found ourselves really inspired by her yellow and pink sneakers with the word &amp;quot;BELIEVE&amp;quot; written on the heel. What could be more motivating than looking down at that message in the middle of a match or a game? We kind of want to steal the style ourselves! (Luckily, you can design your own similar sneakers at Adidas.com.) Melanie plays 19-year-old Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark in tonight&amp;#039;s all-teen (yeah!) quarterfinal match, which will be broadcast at 7 p.m. E.T. on ESPN2, so tune in!  Have you been watching Melanie and following the U.S. Open? If so, what do you think? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
