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.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
