Eubanks Upsets Norrie
Christopher Eubanks continued to impress at Wimbledon as the American knocked out home favourite Cameron Norrie in the second round on Friday.
The 27-year-old, who is making his first man draw appearance at Wimbledon, needed two hours and 30 minutes to beat the 12th seed Briton 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3).
Eubanks served 21 aces and 63 winners against Norrie. While he failed to save the two break points that he faced during the match, he converted four of 13 to beat the world no. 13 and win his seventh straight match on grass.
The world no. 43 had won his maiden ATP title by beating Adrian Mannarino in Mallorca last month. He carried that form to SW19 and ousted Thiago Monteiro 4-6, 7-5, 7-5, 6-3 in the opening round. Eubanks had struck 28 aces and 66 winners in the first round.
Eubanks had also reached the quarterfinals in Miami this year and Friday’s win improved him to 14-10 at the tour level this season. He has been very consistent of late and has constantly moved up the rankings, breaking into the top 100 for the first time in April and then breaking into the top 50 this month.
Can Eubanks’ dream run at Wimbledon continue on Saturday?

O’Connell had lost his opening round match on his Wimbledon debut in 2021, but the Aussie registered his first two wins at the grass court major this year. First, the 29-year-old defeated Hamad Medjedovic 7-5, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in the opening round and then he knocked out Vesely 6-3, 7-5, 6-4.
O’Connell won 83% points on his first serve, served 11 aces and hit 37 winners, while making just 15 unforced errors to beat the Czech in two hours and eight minutes.
The Aussie saved 3 of 4 break points and capitalised on 4 of 12 breaking opportunities to move into the third round and improve his grass court record to 4-2 at the tour level in 2023.
He is 23-21 across levels this season. Can he keep the form going?
