Having an older sibling is definitely a blessing. Luckily, Christopher Eubanks has assumed that role for not one but two rising American stars. The 27-year-old recently mentioned how close he is to the US Open winner, Coco Gauff. He didn’t hesitate once while revealing his vulnerable side. Now that is definitely a high-value character trait. Eubanks opened up on a number of things in this latest reel posted by the UTS.

Chris Eubanks carries a very popular trio. The other two members are, zesty Ben Shelton and destructive Coco Gauff. Eubanks have had their back forever. Naturally, he sometimes gets emotional for these two.

When was the last time Christopher Eubanks cried?

Eubanks is one of those softies at heart. He performs a mean game on the court but when it is time to speak he only says the nicest of things. This time was no different as he began to unravel even more of his warm side for all of Instagram to see. This man never ceases to amaze us with his thoughtful words and actions.

When Eubanks was asked, when was the last time he cried, this is what he said: “This past week when Coco Gauff won the U.S. Open, I started to cry when I saw her and her dad hug because we’re all very close.” Well, the moment he was talking about was indeed quite emotional.

Nothing is more beautiful than seeing a child make her parents proud. Gauff is still a teenager which makes her achievement even more glorious. More than that, achieving the US Open title while defeating a player like Aryna Sabalenka is no ordinary feat. Certainly, Gauff running to her father to celebrate the biggest moment of her career so far was always going to be a happy teary-eyed moment.

Eubanks similar to Ben Shelton is quite a funny guy. He often tags and pokes both Shelton and Gauff from time to time, in hopes of getting a banter match in front of everyone. This trio gives that brother-sister energy more than actual siblings.

How close is the ‘sibling’ duo of Eubanks & Gauff?

Truth be told, it is quite apparent that there is nothing but love and respect between Gauff and Eubanks. The American stars seem to have formed a bond thicker than blood. Let’s take Eubanks’ initiation at the UTS for example. It is a tradition that every new player has to pick a nickname for themselves. Taking the full benefit of this opportunity, Eubanks picked the nicked “The Rocket”.

When it was publicized that Christopher Eubanks would be “The Rocket” at the UTS, Coco knew what she had to do. She commented on this, saying although the nickname is fine and everything, she would still keep calling him the giraffe. Hinting at Eubanks’ gigantic 6’7″ stature. Eubanks returned the same energy saying he couldn’t care less. He also did not forget to brag about how he literally carried Coco to her first Grand Slam win.
