LONDON — A South Fulton native and former Georgia Tech tennis star upset the fifth-ranked player in the world to advance to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.
Christopher Eubanks defeated No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas in five sets on Monday morning. He will now face Daniil Medvedev, who is ranked third in the world, on Tuesday.
Eubanks grew up in south Fulton County and graduated from Westlake High School. He led the Lions to the state finals in 2011 and 2013. He continued his career in Atlanta at Georgia Tech.
For the Yellow Jackets, his 90 career wins are tied for fifth all-time in program history. In October 2017, Eubanks decided to turn pro and forgo his final year of eligibility.
He has never advanced past the second round at the Australian Open and US Open and has never advanced past the first round at the French Open.
