“I think a hot moment kind of came in the warm-up when I looked up at the stands of Court 18 and realised, I’m like, ‘oh, this is the Isner-Mahut court,’” said Eubanks. “I watched tennis on this court for three days one time a few years ago. That was kind of cool.” Given that players have been unable to deal with the blazing serve and laser forehand of the 6ft 7in son of a Baptist minister, Eubanks must now be considered as one of the big dangermen remaining in the draw.
