Unheralded American player Christopher Eubanks has stunned Wimbledon, beating fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in a five-set thriller to reach the quarter-finals.
Eubanks overpowered Tsitsipas on No 2 Court, winning 3-6, 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. But Tsitsipas made it no easy feat for Eubanks, eventually tiring out after the three hour battle.
“It’s like I’m living the dream right now,” Eurobanks said after the match. “This is absolutely insane.”
