( CNN ) -- After shocking the tennis world at the U.S. Open , teen sensation Catherine `` Cici '' Bellis has set her sights on Ellen DeGeneres ' couch . The 15-year-old stunned 12th seed Dominica Cibulkova with a 6-1 4-6 6-4 triumph in her first grand slam match , becoming the youngest winner of a U.S. Open tie since Anna Kournikova in 1996 . As is the custom for breakout U.S. sport stars , a talk show appearance is likely to be never far away -- and Bellis knows which host she wants to be sat opposite . `` I love Ellen , '' Bellis , ranked 1,208th in the world , told reporters . `` I think I would want to go on Ellen . '' The youngest player to feature at a grand slam for nine years , Bellis had never previously played a WTA Tour match . But the junior world No . 2 was given a wildcard at Flushing Meadows after winning the U.S. national championships earlier this month . The San Francisco-born Bellis shone on the big stage , brushing Australian Open finalist Cibulkova aside in the opening set before battling back from a break down to clinch the decider . Bellis was backed by a partisan crowd on Court Six , including some friends who helped roar her to a famous victory . Next up for Bellis is a second round contest with Kazakhstan 's Zarina Diyas . `` I went into the match thinking it was going to be such a great experience , but I never thought I would come out on top winning , '' explained Bellis , who is home schooled so she can focus on her tennis . `` I had like four friends that started some of the chants . I was like , 'Oh , my God . ' I loved it . It made me play even better . '' A first round win at this year 's U.S. Open comes with a check for $ 60,000 , not that Bellis will be able to cash in . Her status as an amateur means she is unable to claim winnings , but Bellis is in no rush to turn pro . `` I think I 'm definitely going to stay an amateur right now to keep my options open for college , in case an injury or something happens , '' she said . `` But I 'd love to be a pro one day .
