 Wimbledon fan-favourite Christopher Eubanks has made history by breaking a 31-year record held by Andre Agassi during his quarter-final match. Eubanks took on world No.3 Daniil Medvedev and was close to producing yet another shock before the Russian battled back to win 6-4 1-6 4-6 7-6 6-1. The world No.43 headed to SW19 as a relatively unknown player who had never progressed past the second round of a Grand Slam before this year's tournament. But Eubanks won over crowds with his entertaining, high-risk style of play and admits he feels like an 'honorary Brit' after enjoying the ride of his life at the Championships. Eubanks, 27, who only won his maiden ATP Tour title 11 days ago, eliminated British No.1 Cameron Norrie as well as fifth-seed Stefanos Tsitsipas and pushed Medvedev all the way before crashing out in the quarter-finals. Despite his defeat, Eubanks has made history by hitting 317+ winners, which is now the most hit during a Wimbledon Championship. Eight-time Grand Slam champion Agassi previously held the record, which has stood since 1992.
