"Can't let her forget": Credit taken by Christopher Eubanks as Gauff makes US Open semi-final
WTAThursday, 07 September 2023 at 01:30
America’s Christopher Eubanks has jokingly reminded young
tennis star Coco Gauff about his contribution to her first victory at a Grand
Slam.
Gauff booked her place in the last four of the US Open after
defeating Latvia’s Jeļena Ostapenko in straight sets with a score of 6-0, 6-2
on Tuesday.
Eubanks, while responding to a tweet, reminded the
20-year-old how he played a huge role in securing her first win at a major
tournament.
Eubanks and Gauff played together in the mixed doubles category
in the US Open in 2018 where they managed to defeat Chan Hao-ching and Henri
Kontinen in the first round with a score of 6-4, 6-4.
Both players had a very contrasting outing in the fourth
and final Grand Slam of the year which is now moving towards its conclusion.
While Gauff is now just one win away from becoming the
youngest to reach the final of the US Open since Serena Willaims did in 1999, Eubanks
lost in the second round to France’s Benjamin Bonzi with a score of 6-7, 2-6,
6-2, 7-6.
Gauff will now face Czech Republic’s Karolina Muchova in the
last-four clash of the mega-event for a spot in the all-important finale.

- 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

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026

- One of the most amazing comebacks in a long, long time. It happens (and Keys shouldn't lose her crackers over this). If Madison starts playing Dress-up and walking out on court like some fantasy character with a Mental Problem... then she should really start worrying!mandoist06-09-2026
