Last year, Eubanks had a memorable season, reaching a career-high ranking of 29 in the ATP rankings and an impressive quarter-final run at Wimbledon. Starting his 2024 season at the ASB Classic in Auckland, he faced an early exit with a first-round defeat against Netherlands' Botic van de Zandschulp.

Looking ahead, Eubanks is set to compete in the Australian Open, with his first opponent being Japanese tennis player Taro Daniel.

J.Lindeberg was founded in 1997 in Stockholm, Sweden, by Johan Lindeberg. Over the years, they have produced a wide range of apparel for sports including golf, ski, polo, tennis, etc., as well as other types of clothing.

In a recent interview with Forbes, Eubanks expressed his pride in being the first male tennis athlete to join J.Lindeberg, emphasizing the opportunity to witness the brand's growth.

"It is extremely enticing to be one of the only faces of a particular brand, It allows for you to really see the growth of that brand and feel a sense of pride when you’re watching it grow, which is quite a unique opportunity. Not many players get the chance to be the face of a brand in the beginning and I am really excited about that opportunity,” Eubanks said
