CiCi Bellis' 2017 season started off slow, with a hamstring injury forcing her out of the Australian swing. But she's picked up right where she left 2016 off by stunning world No. 6 Agnieszka Radwanska on Wednesday in Dubai, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 to reach the quarterfinals.

The 17-year-old was obviously thrilled with the achievement, which is the first Top 10 win of her career.

"I really can’t believe it right now..." she said. "I feel like I’m really playing some of my best tennis right now and having the biggest win of my life here in Dubai means everything to me."

Next up for the world No. 70 could be former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, who she puts in the same category as Radwanska.
