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.

Amanda Anisimova quit tennis in 2023 and two years later has reached the Wimbledon final. The American, who first burst onto the scene as a 17-year-old at the French Open six years ago, has gone one step further than that breakthrough run with a 6-4 4-6 6-4 upset over top seed Aryna Sabalenka.

The American No. 13 seed did not shrink from her duel with Sabalenka on Centre Court, going after her shots at all times.
