Melanie Oudin and her family left a midtown Manhattan hotel not because there were no more rooms left, but because her coach was too cheap to pay for a higher rate.
Oudin Left Hotel Because Coach ‘Didn’t Want To Pay Double’
Brian de Villiers confirmed to the New York Times tennis blog Straight Sets that he and Oudin’s family left the Marriott, as had been reported earlier today by Sports Business Journal. Unlike Oudin’s agent, who was quoted in the original story, de Villiers gave a reason: his pupil had to change hotels. He said the reservation had run out and the price for reserving a new room had increased.
“I didn’t want to pay double,” he said, “so we moved across the road.“Well, as long as his priorities are in the right place.
