Christopher Eubanks vs Aleksandar Vukic preview
The quarter-final of the 2024 Hall of Fame Open will feature a match between the fourth-seeded Christopher Eubanks and sixth-seeded Aleksandar Vukic.
Eubanks, who made waves on the ATP circuit last year by reaching the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon, is having a tough time this year. The American player has an abysmal record of 6-15 for the season.
In the recently concluded grass-court season, Eubanks had his best result by reaching the quarter-finals of the Terra Wortmann Open. He lost to Zhang Zhizhen. However, the American had back-to-back first-round defeats after that, at the Mallorca Championships (losing to Jakub Mensik), and at the Wimbledon Championships (losing to Quentin Halys).
Eubanks got a bye in the first round at the Hall of Fame Open due to his high seeding. He got past an American Qualifier Ethan Quinn in three tight sets in the second round.
Aleksandar Vukic has not had a good 2024 season so far either. The Australian has a record of 12-17 for the season. However, in the grass season, Vukic made it to the quarter-finals of the Libema Open before losing to Tallon Griekspoor. He backed this result up by reaching the semi-final of the Eastbourne International where he lost to Taylor Fritz. Vukic lost against eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in the second round at the Wimbledon Championships.
At the Hall of Fame Open, Vukic defeated Coleman Wang in straight sets in the first round. He then knocked out American Qualifier Eliot Spizzirri in the second round.

Christopher Eubanks vs Aleksandar Vukic prediction
Eubanks's poor season has seen his rankings drop beyond 100. He has struggled to make a decent run at any of the events he has played. Even if the grass court season saw any form of revival, the American's loss in the first round of Wimbledon meant a loss of a lot of points, as Eubanks had made it to the quarter-finals last year.
Vukic has shown a remarkable form in the grass court. His record on the surface for 2024 is 8-4. His performances have seen the Australian rise from 87 to 65 on the ATP Rankings in a month.
Even though Eubanks is the higher seed, the h2h and the recent form on grass give Vukic the advantage going in this match.
Pick - Vukic to Win in straight sets.
