In what turned out to be a shocker of a game, French qualifier Julie Coin, ranked 188th in the world ousted world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic from the 2008 U.S. Open on Thursday. The 25-year-old Coin, beat Ivanovic 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in second-round action at the 2008 U.S. Open which took place at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Serena and Venus Williams, and Olympic silver medalist Dinara Safina too advanced in straight sets on Day 4. But the cynosure of everyone’s eyes was Julie Coin. Since her childhood her parents had encouraged her to follow her own dreams which finally seem to be coming true.

In her first appearance in any tour-level tournament, Coin toppled top-ranked Ana Ivanovic, one of the biggest upsets in the tournament's history.

"I don't realize yet that I beat the number one player in the world," said Coin, who had to qualify to earn her place in the draw. "I don't realize that I played at the big court. I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight. I don't know."

"I was enjoying the moment," Coin said later. "It's great when you play when you win a point and the crowd is getting all excited, after the match point everyone is screaming. I mean, that doesn't happen every day, so it's pretty good."
