None of the ladies in the top 10 were eliminated in the first round of the tournament but No. 12 Dominika Cibulkova fell for 15-year-old American CiCi Bellis. Bellis is the youngest woman to win a match at the U.S. Open since 1996.
Bellis was very humble and said that she thought participating in the U.S. Open would be good for her career progression, but she never imagined she would advance.
"I never thought I'd come out like this," she said in an on-court interview.
"Believing was the No. 1 thing that I had to do today," said Bellis, "That's what my coach told me before the match also: Just go out there and believe that you can win.”
"I went into the match thinking it was going to be such a great experience," said Bellis, "but I never thought I would come out on top winning.”
Bellis will face Zarina Diyas in the tournament’s second round.
