 Christopher Eubanks is making a name for himself at Wimbledon this year. The unseeded American, ranked world No.43, is playing in the main draw for the first time but has enjoyed a sensational run to the quarter-finals in the men's singles. But Eubanks is not a youngster or a tour novice. The 27-year-old from Atlanta, Georgia has been active for almost a decade and made his ATP debut eight years ago. Eubanks is a late bloomer – having only won his first Grand Slam match at the US Open last year – and only had a handful of first and second round appearances at major tournaments heading into this year's Championships. His big breakthrough came at the Miami Open in March with an impressive run to the last eight at the Masters event, a result which saw him climb inside the world top 100, where he lost to the very player that he will next face at Wimbledon. That man was Daniil Medvedev and the Russian world No.3 has lauded Eubanks in the build-up to their quarter-final clash despite being the favourite to advance, labelling the American as a 'dangerous player' who is capable of claiming another scalp. Eubanks has already pulled off some incredible results in SW19 and most recently eliminated Greek fifth-seed Stefanos Tsitsipas – the man who knocked out Andy Murray – and he also dumped out British No.1 Cameron Norrie in another shock.
