    Eubanks captured the world’s attention at the Wimbledon tournament last summer.

    The Westlake High School and Georgia Tech alum made it all the way to the quarterfinals. His Wimbledon run sent him soaring into the top 50 in the ATP Tour men’s tennis rankings last year.

    Before Wednesday, Eubanks was ranked No. 60 in the world. After his straight sets loss, the live rankings now show him at No. 128 as of Wednesday afternoon.

    Eubanks’ next tournament will be the 2024 Paris Olympics as a member of Team USA.
