Gauff had finished her Wimbledon campaign a day earlier when she was eliminated in the doubles' round of 16 alongside her partner Jessica Pegula, losing to the team of Laura Siegemund and Vera Zvonareva. The world No. 7 had a disappointing run in the singles main draw, as she was knocked out in the first round by Sofia Kenin, who came through the qualifying rounds.

Eubanks arrived in London with a 2-8 record in Grand Slam matches, and at 27 years old, he entered the top 100 just two months ago, reaching a career-high ranking of No. 43 the week before Wimbledon after winning the Mallorca Open, his first ATP 250 title.

His strong performances on grass have propelled him to the world No. 31 ranking starting from Monday, granting him direct entry into all tournaments and even potential seeding in Grand Slams if he maintains or improves his position.

Eubanks won't be taking a break after his Wimbledon run and will be playing in another grass court tournament next week, the 2023 Infosys Hall of Fame Open in Atlanta, where players like Maxime Cressy, Tommy Paul, John Isner, Adrian Mannarino, and Ugo Humbert will also be competing.
