Amanda Anisimova ousted the world's No. 1 female tennis player, Aryna Sabalenka, on Thursday in the Wimbledon semi-finals — shocking the sports world as the American moves onto the finals.

"Amazing Amanda!" sports announcers called, as the 12th-ranked player beat Sabalenka 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 to nab her first-ever spot on center court.

"To be in the finals at Wimbledon is so incredibly special," the 23-year-old New Jersey native said in a post-game interview. She thanked her fans, her sister and nephew for their support, as well as her "amazing team" for helping her clinch her spot in the finals.
