Amanda Anisimova defeated defending champion and No. 3 seed Simona Halep, 6-2, 6-4, to advance to the Roland Garros semifinals, but those facts don't give the whole picture.

Here are six facts that put Anisimova's breakthrough win into context:

0

How many sets Anisimova has lost in the tournament until the semifinals. She wasn't just winning; she was winning convincingly. Even in one of her more difficult matches, against Aryna Sabalenka, Anisimova won a comfortable 6-4, 6-2 match in just 74 minutes.

51

Anisimova's ranking heading into Roland Garros. Her ranking is up to No. 26, her career-high.

68

The number of minutes it took Anisimova to defeat Halep. Clay is known for being conducive for longer, grinding matches, but the American got the job done against the recent world No. 1 in just over an hour.

'97

Anisimova is the youngest American woman to make a Slam semifinal since Venus Williams did it at the 1997 US Open. She was also 17.

'01

The year Anisimova was born. Teen champions at the highest level have become a thing of the past in recent years. For that reason, Anisimova is the first player, man or woman, born in the 2000s to reach a Grand Slam semifinal.

'07

The win also makes Anisimova the youngest woman of any nationality to reach a major semifinal since a 17-year-old Nicole Vaidisova in 2007 in Melbourne. (Vaidisova made the French Open semifinals in 2006 as well.)

The American would lose in the semifinals in three sets to eventual champion Ashleigh Barty. She had a set and a 3-0 lead, before falling, 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-3.
