It would have been a big bang in the tennis world if Eubanks really eliminated Medvedev in that game. All sports live upon such surprises as people want to see the small guy beat the big guy. This would have been the perfect plot in this match-up and damn it was so close. I believe what is so special about Christopher Eubanks is his age. There have been youngsters in the past who played amazing tennis and spread enthusiasm among the fans. Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Alcaraz and others, but here it was a 27-year old guy who out of a sudden played world class tennis. As if he woke up one morning and suddenly became a different player overnight.
It's true, surprises exist at every sporting event and Eubanks has been one of them.
Even though the match ended in disappointment, many tennis fans applauded Eubanks for his hard work so far.
Maybe in the future he can create even more spectacular surprises with his quite impressive tennis game.
I believe that Eubanks won't be able to repeat such a run, but who knows. A he has done it once, it is possible of course that he does it twice, but to me it seemed more like this run that a guy like him has once in a lifetime so late into his career.
The game between Alcaraz and Djokovic has so many weird moments. After the first set I thought that this game will be disappointing for all the tennis fans, but it turned out to be a great game with that one game going into deuce like 13 times. But now Alcaraz is in control.
