Eubanks' journey at Wimbledon came to an end on Wednesday as he lost to Daniil Medvedev in a thrilling five-set match that lasted two hours and 57 minutes. With a 6-4, 1-6, 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-1 scoreline, Medvedev secured his spot in the Wimbledon semifinals for the very first time.

"Into the #Wimbledon history books 🌱 @chris_eubanks96 surpasses the great Andre @agassi’s record of 317 winners from 1992."

"To hear them talk about their belief, it's a bit infectious" - Christopher Eubanks on how Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka helped him regain confidence

Following his victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas, Christopher Eubanks opened up on the impact his fellow tennis players Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff had on helping him regain his confidence.

For a considerable period, Eubanks had been tormented by uncertainties regarding his ability to maintain consistency. He expressed gratitude towards Osaka and Gauff for their unwavering faith even during the difficult times.

"I think the biggest thing, it's a common theme amongst both of them, they've been saying for a long time that they feel like I belong at this level," Eubanks said at the post-match press conference. "For a long time I questioned, again, whether or not I was consistent enough to play at this level really consistently."

Eubanks acknowledged his struggle with self-belief, especially when it comes to overcoming top opponents. He also said that being in the presence of Gauff and Osaka, and listening to their encouraging words, has had an 'infectious' effect on him.

"That's something Coco has been telling me for a long time," Christopher Eubanks added. "Naomi even says the same thing. That's kind of been the main thing of just reinforcing and instilling confidence. Hey, you can play at this level, you just got to believe it. When I'm around them, to hear them talk about their belief, it's a bit infectious. It does rub off on you."
