LONDON -- After triumphing over Zhang Shuai in the quarter finals of the Australian Open on Wednesday morning, Johanna Konta became the first British woman to reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam in over three decades.
Konta may not be super familiar to you yet -- she became a British citizen in 2012, and before that she represented Australia on the court -- but she's rapidly becoming a big name name in the world of women's tennis.
I am so so so happy to announce that after the longest process and a lot of waiting I now have my British passport!!!— Johanna Konta (@JoKonta91) November 28, 2012
She's also pretty awesome on social media. From videos of farm animals to excitable tennis commentary, here are some of her Twitter and Instagram highlights...
1. First and most importantly, she's obviously a total badass on the tennis court.
