CiCi

 American teen CiCi Bellis fought back after losing the first set, but ultimately came up short in her second round match Thursday night at the US Open.

Bellis -- who on Tuesday at age 15 became the youngest player to win a US Open match since 1996 -- lost to 48th-ranked Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan 6-3, 0-6, 6-2.

Bellis, a Californian who is ranked 1,208th and playing in her first tour-level event, won seven games in a row during one stretch.

"Maybe it didn't turn out how I wanted it to, but thank you, everybody, for coming out and watching," Bellis told the overflowing and wildly supportive crowd in an on-court interview. "It was amazing. I mean, I never thought I'd be here."

Bellis earned a wild-card invitation from the U.S. Tennis Association by winning the USTA Girls' 18s National Championship, the youngest to do since Lindsay Davenport also won it at 15 in 1991.

Molly Ringwald began her career as an actress on "The Facts of Life" during the 1980s. After one season, her character disappeared from the series. Some might think that would be the end of a career for a teenager, but Molly's time in the spotlight was far from over. The actress went on to be queen of the teen flicks after her exit from the television series. She starred in several films by John Hughes. "The Breakfast Club" is still shown on television regularly, but Mathilda did not channel her mother's character from that film during their Target shopping trip. Mathilda is the daughter of Ringwald and Panio Gianopoulos.
During the shopping trip, the mother and daughter found a poster for "Sixteen Candles" in the store. The poster featured Molly making her iconic head tilt pose, and it was being used to promote the sale of DVD's for $5. Mathilida then stood next to the poster and posed for her mom and her mom's camera tilting her head in the same manner. It is not known if the little girl posed on her own or if he mother prompted the pose.
