Chris Eubanks is the swashbuckling American tennis star taking Wimbledon 2023 by storm, causing a major upset by knocking fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas out of the tournament in the fourth round to clinch a quarter-final against former US Open winner Daniil Medvedev.
It is a remarkable turnaround for the 6ft 7ins 27-year-old athlete from Atlanta, Georgia, who had been struggling for years to break into the top 100 in the world rankings and last year kickstarted a commentary career with the Tennis Channel to try and get as close to the action as possible. Now, the man who acted as a double for tennis legend Arthur Ashe in Emmy-nominated CNN documentary Citizen Ashe is right in the thick of the action himself.
Prior to Wimbledon 2023, he had never got further than the second round of a Grand Slam tournament and had won two grand slam matches. He is currently ranked 43rd in the world.
