Eubanks further said, “And even despite it going through and winning a 500 or 1000 and a grand slam, she’s still the same person going in supporting her younger brothers at their sporting events. Still trying to understand this newfound fame and celebrity that’s magnified times ten. Since that US Open and, she still remains such a great person to be around. She’s never lost herself, and to me, that is the biggest thing that I’m most proud of.”
