Chris Eubanks reached out to International Tennis Hall of Famer Kim Clijsters, a four-time Grand Slam champion, to prepare for the grass court tournament.
WIMBLEDON, England — A month ago, Chris Eubanks began the grass-court portion of the season that leads into Wimbledon at a lower-level ATP Challenger Tour event in Surbiton, England.
“I was just kind of frustrated,” he recounted. “I sent her a text, and I was like, ‘Grass is the stupidest surface to play tennis on. Why are we playing tennis — a sport in which we need the ball to bounce — on a very inconsistent surface?’ And you can’t move on it.” Christopher Eubanks of United States celebrates winning match point against Cameron Norrie of Great Britain.After Clijsters offered some advice about drills to help with footwork on grass — as it happens, Eubanks said, the same sort of things his coach suggested — so much seemed to change.
And maybe — just maybe — Eubanks feels a little bit better about playing on the green stuff than he did in early June. “I’m obviously very disappointed just now. You never know how many opportunities you’re going to get to play here,” Murray said, adding he didn’t know if this would be his last Wimbledon. “The defeats, maybe feel a bit tougher. But, to be honest, every year that Wimbledon’s not gone how I would like, it’s been hard.”
Murray has not been past the third round at any major since getting to the 2017 quarterfinals at Wimbledon.
