"She has finally proved the naysayers wrong": Coco Gauff surveyed skepticism and will win more believes Christopher Eubanks

Christopher
Eubanks shared his thoughts on his friend Coco Gauff and the skepticism
surrounding her potential before winning the US Open.
The North
American player has been one of the most improved tennis players in terms of
level and results, making a name for himself in the upper echelons of the ATP
rankings and breaking into the top 30 despite starting the year outside the top
120. Eubanks is a close friend of Gauff on the tour and recently spoke about
her on Tennis Channel, offering his opinion on the potential of the world No.

"She
has finally proved the naysayers wrong, some said that she would never win a
Grand Slam. She's been able to do that, now it's about how many she will get.
So there's still going to be outside expectations, there's still going to be
people saying that she can never get more than one or the people doubting the
validity of the US Open run,” Eubanks claimed.
“It doesn't
matter at this point. In her team and in her mind, she has done what she has
done, now let's just continue to enjoy this process let's just continue to put
in the work that got her to this point," he added.
Eubanks
expressed optimism about the future achievements of Coco Gauff, who, at just 19
years old, secured her coveted first Grand Slam title:
"I
think the sky's the limit. We have seen players before who kinda get their run
and we've seen Iga be so dominant on clay. She has also done well on hard
courts, not so much on grass. We've seen players who have favorite surfaces or
maybe struggle on other times," world No. 34 said.
"But
not her, she can play on any surface. She can play against any opponent, in any
condition, so that poses the opportunity for her to win a lot of more
tournaments and the sky's the limit," Eubanks concluded
The
American has a modest ATP record of 30-43, as the majority of his career has
been spent competing in Challenger tournaments. The 27-year-old Eubanks made a
breakthrough in 2023, entering the top 100 for the first time in April after an
impressive run at the Miami Open, where he progressed to the quarterfinals from
the qualifiers.
Eubanks
further solidified his form during the grass-court season, claiming his maiden
ATP 250 title at the Mallorca Open. He also reached the quarterfinals at
Wimbledon, making notable victories over the 12th seed Cam Norrie and the 5th
seed Stefanos Tsitsipas along the way. His Wimbledon journey came to an end
with a defeat to the third seed Daniil Medvedev in a thrilling five-set match.
