Chris Eubanks has emerged as the unlikely American man to go the distance at Wimbledon, downing Australian Chris O'Connell in straight sets on Saturday to reach the fourth round and keep his meteoric climb up the rankings on track.
least favouriteWhile his higher-ranked compatriots Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul suffered early exits, Eubanks, 43rd in the world going into Wimbledon, is expected to reach the top 40 now with his best-ever major performance after cracking the top 100 only four months ago.
A day later, he unleashed a hailstorm of 23 aces and 65 winners to conquer O'Connell and set up a meeting with Greek fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, who claimed a 6-4 7-6 6-4 win over Serbia's Laslo Djere. "He is not scared of anything. He just goes for it. Hits very, very fast. Goes to the net as soon as he has the opportunity," said Medvedev. "He managed to find something this year which I don't think he had before."
