Not too long ago, Christopher Eubanks had doubts about his pro tennis career, taking a job as a commentator for Tennis Channel while he continued to pursue playing. Now, he's heading to the Wimbledon quarterfinals, upsetting world No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Now, the 27-year-old American is heading to the Wimbledon quarterfinals, upsetting world No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece 3-6 7-6 3-6 6-4 6-4. Eubanks, who is from Atlanta and played college tennis at Georgia Tech, already was in the midst of the best year of his career. It keeps getting better with his Wimbledon run – and it’s coming on a surface he said he used to hate: grass.
” “At the US Open 2021, I said if I’m still ranked around 200 at the end of next year and injuries haven’t played a part, there has got to be something else I can do with my time,” Eubanks continued. “Because the Challenger circuit is not that glamorous. I felt like I would have these ups and downs throughout my career, and it was getting to be very, very frustrating.” He then began doing commentary during the 2022 clay court season, and he credits the experience for helping his game.
