Ranked No. 97 in the world, Daria Gavrilova upset second-seeded Maria Sharapova in the second round of the Miami Open, 7-6 (4), 6-3. Gavrilova celebrated her win over her fellow Russian accordingly, and she's had plenty of practice: Entering Miami, Gavrilova was 22-6 on the year, including two ITF-level tournament wins. “I still can't realize that it's my dream,” a shocked Gavrilova said afterward. “I have been dreaming about beating Maria since I was probably 12 when I saw her win Wimbledon, when she beat Serena.” (Photo from AP)
