Following his unexpected Wimbledon run this summer, Christopher Eubanks is hoping to use build off that momentum as he prepares for the US Open.

The American has established himself as a household name, but realizes he will be the focus of attention when he returns home to the United States.

“I don't think I understand it just yet,” Eubanks said of the media attention. “I have done a good job of blocking out the outside noise and focus on each match and each opponent.

“My phone has been going off. I had it on do not disturb for the past few weeks. I wanted all my energy to be here at Wimbledon, but I think things are going to be a bit different when we get back Stateside and I am pretty excited about it.”

Furthermore, the Atlanta native is very popular among his peers, having obtained the nickname of 'giraffe' and 'toothpick'.

“Credit where credit is due, Coco (Gauff) started the giraffe nickname,” Eubanks said. “When you hear that and it is starting to take hold, it was started by Coco Gauff.

“Frances Tiafoe did start the toothpick nickname. I used to fight them on it, but at this point I see them as terms of endearment."
