Personal life

Oudin, a Marietta, Georgia native, has a twin sister, Katherine, and a younger sister, Christina.[3] Introduced to the sport at the age of seven alongside sister Katherine, it was clear Melanie had a gift. As Melanie continued to improve, her time spent on the court increased as well. In seventh grade, Melanie made the decision to homeschool, giving her more time on the practice courts and an opportunity to play more tournaments. In an article with Atlanta Magazine Oudin said, "If I was going to homeschool, I was going to try to go pro for sure".[4] While the decision proved to be very beneficial for her career, Oudin admits envying her twin sister's experiences at a regular school.[5] She says her idol is Justine Henin because "she proved you don't have to be tall to win things."[6] Her grandmother inspired her and her sister to play tennis when she gave them racquets and lessons when they were young.[7]
