Wimbledon has seen its share of excitement, but little compared to the brouhaha that engulfed Court No. 2 as a fifth set approached. The lone American left in the men’s draw upsets No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas and will meet No. 3 seed Daniil Medvedev next.
Outside, groups of spectators gathered around entrances, more than a few of them dismayed to learn that, no, audience members cannot enter the stadium until the changeover after the third game of the match, not the first.
With it, the former Georgia Tech standout upset the two-time Grand Slam finalist to nudge an already unforgettable Wimbledon debut toward something like fantasy. The unexpected success from his past week here has left Eubanks feeling somewhat dazed and has also required considerable time spent pushing back his hotel checkout date again and again. He upset world No. 13 Cameron Norrie in the second round, and Monday’s win over No. 5 seed Tsitsipas was his first victory over a top-five player in his career. He faces No.
Eubanks’s chippy game is retro in that way — unlike that of many of his American peers, who prefer to pound away from the baseline.
