‘Tried To Force It..’ – Deeply Religious 27-Year-Old American Tennis Star Admits How Trust in ‘Faith’ Propelled Him to Astounding Wimbledon Glory

The 27-year-old American tennis pro, Chris Eubanks, scripted an incredible story of resilience and perseverance at the Wimbledon Championships. After making it to the quarterfinals, he saw a rise in his ranking on the ATP ranking board. But, throughout his astounding campaign at SW19, his focus was not to be in the limelight or to be a part of the final eight competitors at Wimbledon. It was rather simple.

Seeing his past performances on the tour, the 27-year-old was more worried about his rankings than making it to the tournament’s main draw. And after jumping to the 43rd position, the American rising star recently revealed his clear perspective on his tennis career, discussing how faith played a significant role as he spent a lot of time floating between the 220th and 150th positions in the rankings.

Chris Eubanks strongly believed in faith after Wimbledon 

As the 27-year-old is deeply religious and comes from a quite religious family, in an interview with Today, after scripting history at Wimbledon, he opened up about how faith somewhere helped him deal with stressful situations. He also revealed an example, stating how he was juggling a lot to enter the top 100 on the ranking board.

He said, “If I’m meant to be a top 100 player. I’ll get there in my own time, and if I’m meant to be a top 50 player, I’ll get there my own time. But for so long, I tried to force it and I wanted it so so bad.”

Further, he also highlighted how having faith isn’t really as easy as people think it is. Currently, he is ranked in the 43rd position after juggling a lot of years being outside of the top 100.

However, in the past 12 months, he has seen himself rise up in the ATP ranking in an amazing manner. And now, after reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals and facing a defeat against Daniil Medvedev, he is getting used to the idea that he is now a Wimbledon quarterfinalist.
