"He is not scared of anything, he just goes for it": Medvedev in awe of 'total tennis' Eubanks
ATPSunday, 09 July 2023 at 08:00
World number three Daniil Medvedev has heaped praise on
America’s Christopher Eubanks after his impressive show at Wimbledon 2023.
The 27-year-old has surprised everyone with his performance
at the third Grand Slam of the year where he has already qualified for the
fourth round of the competition despite taking part in the main draw for the first
time.
The 2021 US Open winner Medvedev was full of praise for Eubanks
and his ‘total tennis’ and believed that the young American is not scared of anything.
“I say with my coach that he has kind of — I don't know if
it's the same in English like it is in French — total tennis,” said Medvedev. “He
is not scared of anything. He just goes for it. [He] hits very, very fast and
goes to the net as soon as he has the opportunity, has a big serve.
“From what I saw, because I’ve known him for a long time, he
managed to find something this year which I don't think he had before. The
consistency of doing back-to-back matches, not missing too much, going for the
same shots, just being consistent.”
Eubanks defeated Thiago Monteiro of Brazil in the first round
of the competition with a score of 4-6, 7-5, 7-5, 6-3.
In the round of 64, he was the reason for one of the biggest
upsets in the competition in the men’s singles draw as he got the better of the
world number 12 Britain’s Cameron Norrie with a score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6.
In the round of 32, the Atlanta-born outclassed Australia’s Christopher
O'Connell in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 7-6, 7-6.
Eubanks will now face world number five Greece’s Stefanos
Tsitsipas in the round of 16 clash on Monday.

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
