For fans of Canadian tennis and appreciators of a good underdog story, Thursday night was a movie.

Victoria Mboko, the 18-year-old Canadian sensation who took the tennis world by storm during her miraculous run at the National Bank Open in Montreal over the past 10 days, put the finishing touches on her first WTA title.

In doing so, she ousted four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka, who drew the ire of fans online for what many felt was disrespect toward Mboko in her post-match presser, after she didn't congratulate the young champ.

However, it wasn't enough to take away from the prior surreal moments. The rowdy Montreal crowd absolutely erupted when Osaka put championship point into the net, while Mboko dropped her racket, fell to her knees and covered her face in disbelief.
