Oudin equals career best ranking after Paris

Question

After reaching the semi-finals of the Paris [Indoors], where she lost to eventual champion Elena Dementieva, American teenager Melanie Oudin has risen 11 places to world No. 42 – equalling the career-best ranking she achieved in September last year after reaching the quarters of the US Open.

Answer 1

Oudin looked as though she was out for the count against Agnes Szavay in the Paris quarters, but not only did she win that, but went on to take the first set against Dementieva in the semi-final.
