Melanie Oudin was booted Sunday from her Times Square hotel because her reservation was up. The 70th-ranked tennis player had not expected to remain in N.Y. so long, as she was only booked at the Marriott through the first week of the tournament.
It's a tough call as to who's at fault. Athletes want to fly under the radar and provide a different name when checking into hotels, and rightfully so. However, if needed, it's up to them or their management to extend their length of stay. I don't believe the Marriott did anything wrong. They followed protocol. I find it fairly ridiculous that her management company wouldn't know to call and discuss extending her stay before it got to this point. At the very least find out what her options would be, ahead of time, if she did end up winning and staying longer.
2 points: Marriott
1 points: Oudin team
Either way...kick ass Melanie!
