"He is not scared of anything, he just goes for it": Medvedev in awe of 'total tennis' Eubanks

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.

- Could they hear the bombing in the background? I imagine the tennis players/teams "living" in Dubai and Doha might be selling their apartments for an excellent price in the very near future... such as it is!!
- Who gives a rat's ass??
- This person has arguably always been a 'problem personality'. Rarely, if ever, has he been The Solution to any matter in sports. More often combative and accusatory via media blurbs and texts. As for his "great success" as a coach -- the planets were aligned in his favor the day The Williams Family signed on to him. The William sisters were going to succeed regardless of his, or anyone else's, input. If you want to know how other players' have been affected by his "coaching" simply study the graphics on a chart. Average results, with a degree of combativeness and animosity in every camp. His "success" is entirely attributed to the natural Williams talent(s). Not unlike Raducanu's claim to fame of winning one title.
- Quinwen learned it's better to have friends in tennis. Happy to see she has changed her attitude on the circuit.
- Remind her the racquet is in HER hand, not any coach.
- My advice to Coco is take a few months off from the tour and focus on the serve. If MacMillan is not producing the expected results, relieve him of his duties and hire someone else. To hell with the rankings and what people will say. Just take a break. Mental health is far more important than money.
- Eventually (as other sports have done) WTA will be forced to make DNA / Gender Testing mandatory in order to protect and promote fairness in competitions. End of so-called 'controversy'.
- It's sad... but Rybakina is not going to be able to endure her groomer's interference in Life and still excel to her best level. BTW: No media has reported her last sentence to the physio. They kept asking questions and she abruptly told them: "I know what it is; I'm ready to go now".
- You seem to have 'lost the plot' ??
- This needs to be done, and I think Jessica Pegula is an excellent choice for chair to look into the situation. However, a very brief look at the other members of the panel would suggest a very USA heavy contingent. The group needs to represent all interests, not just turn it into a way the US can screw more money out of an already biased calendar.
