Wimbledon takes off the middle Sunday. -ASSOCIATED PRESS Venus Williams easily advances By Howard Fendrich ASSOCIATED PRESS WIMBLEDON, England As a tyke growing up in Marietta, Melanie Oudin would watch Venus and Serena Williams on TV and tell anyone who would listen that she was going to play at Wimbledon, too, one day.

Who knew she'd be right? And do so well, so quickly? Making her Wimbledon debut at age 17 after getting through qualifying, the 124th-ranked Oudin joined the Williams sisters in the fourth round at the All England Club by beating former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic 6-7 (8), 7-5, 6-2 Saturday in the most startling result of the tournament's opening week. "Was just thinking that she was any other player, and this was any other match, and I was at any other tournament you know, not, like, on the biggest stage, at Wimbledon, playing my first top-10 player," Oudin said. "I mean, I go into every match the exact same, you know, like, no matter who I play. It's not, like, 'Oh, my gosh, I'm playing the No.

1 player in the My goal has always been, since I was little, to become No. 1 in the world one day." Another U.S. qualifier, 133rd-ranked Jesse Levine of Boca Raton, couldn't extend his run in the men's tournament, losing to No. 19 Stanislas Wawrinka 5-7, 7-5, 6-3, 6-3. That leaves No.

6 Andy Roddick as the last American man in the tournament. The only time Oudin really lost her way was when her match ended and it was time to leave Court 3, a patch of grass known as "The Graveyard of Champions," because of the long list of stars upset there. She wasn't quite sure where to go and asked someone to direct her toward the exit. After outlasting 2008 U.S. Open runner-up Jankovic over nearly 3 hours, Oudin called her parents to share in the revelry.

"My emotions are all over the place," Oudin's father, John, said in a telephone interview after watching with about 30 other people at the Racquet Club of the South in suburban Atlanta. "When I think about watching Bjorn Borg and Boris Becker in their starched whites at Wimbledon, I just can't believe Melanie is there. It's hardly any words other than, We've been saying a lot of that. Just, Shortly after his daughter's victory, he and Oudin's mother, Leslie, began scouring the Internet for flights. Even Grandma who encouraged Melanie and twin sister Katherine to take up tennis might make the overseas trip to see Oudin face No.

11 Agniesza Rad-wanska of Poland on Monday with a quarterfinal berth at stake. While Oudin was working on her big win, five-time Wimbledon champ Venus Williams was winning the first eight games en route to a 6-0, 6-4 victory over 34th-ranked Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain. Next up for Venus: 2008 French Open champion and ex-No. 1 Ana Ivanovic, who is seeded 13th and beat No. 18 Samantha Stosur 7-5, 6-2.

On the men's side, No. 6 Roddick is 9-0 against No. 26 Jurgen Melzerafter a 7-6 (2), 7-6 (2), 4-6, 6-3 victory. No. 20 Tomas Berdych beat No.

12 Nikolay Davy-denko 6-2, 6-3, 6-2; No. 3 Andy Murray's bid to end Britain's 73-year wait for a male champ continued with a straight-set win against No. 30 Viktor Troicki; 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt, No. 8 Gilles Simon, No. 23 Radek Stepanek and 2003 French Open Juan Carlos Ferrero also advanced.

Johannesburg, South Africa When. 1 p.m. (ESPN2) Scouting report. The U.S. is trying to win a FIFA tournament for the first time.

Brazil won the early round match 3-0. U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley will not play today because he received a red card in the semifinals. Brazil's speedy forwards could prompt the U.S. to switch from its usual 4-4-2 formation to a 4-5-1.

At 6 feet, 4 inches and 210 pounds, Oguchi Onyewu has been the Americans' standout defender. By Andrew Dampf ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHANNESBURG Lan don Donovan remembers the first time he played the Brazilians, when his under-23 team trudged off the field after a 7-0 thrashing. "I haven't beaten Brazil on any level," the U.S. forward said. "It would be amazing to do it tomorrow." Amazing, unbelievable, spectacular any adjective would apply.

When the Americans play Brazil in the Confederation Cup final today, they have a chance to create a watershed moment in U.S. soccer. The Americans have never won a FIFA tournament this is the first time they've even made it to a final and a victory over the five-time World Cup champs would signal they are closer than ever to and that 1-0 victory came in Los Angeles in the semifinals of the 1998 CONCA-CAF Gold Cup, the championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean. Just last week, Brazil routed the Americans 3-0 in group play at the Confederations Cup. The loss left them on the verge of elimination, and had some critics calling for Bradley's job.

But the U.S. men turned their fortunes around and are a different team now. For Brazil, playing in a final is nothing new. This is its fourth at the Confederations Cup, and it's seeking a record third title. The will have to try to corral Kaka, Robinho and Luis Fabiano minus midfielder Michael Bradley, the coach's son.
