"We love daddy long legs" - When Sloane Stephens, Madison Keys & Frances Tiafoe poked fun at Wimbledon quarterfinalist Christopher Eubanks

Christopher Eubanks produced one of the upsets of Wimbledon 2023 by stunning fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas and reaching the quarterfinals of the grass-court Major.

Tsitsipas was up by two sets to one but Eubanks fought hard to take the next two sets 6-4, 6-4 and win the match.

The American was the subject of a hilarious video ahead of this season's Dallas Open in February. The video featured Sloane Stephens, Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe, all of whom teased Eubanks.

Keys and Stephens were asked to say a few words about some of their compatriots. When Eubanks' name was mentioned, the former giggled and the latter called him "giraffe" and "Daddy Long Legs".

"Oh Lord. Don't even get me started on that giraffe. Jesus. We love Chris, we love Daddy Long Legs," Stephens said.

Frances Tiafoe claimed that Christopher Eubanks' nickname was 'toothpick' because of how skinny he was.

"Well Eubanks' nickname is really toothpick because he's so skinny," Tiafoe said.

Eubanks has had a pretty good grass-court season so far in 2023, winning 16 out of 26 matches. He won his first ATP singles title at the Mallorca Championships, beating Adrian Mannarino 6-1, 6-4 in the final.

Christopher Eubanks' quarterfinal run at Wimbledon is his first-ever at any Grand Slam so far. The American said in his on-court interview that he was living a dream and that reaching the last eight at a Grand Slam was surreal.

“I feel like I'm living a dream right now. This is absolutely insane,” Eubanks said. “When you paint all of the context, I’ve tried so much to just block everything out and focus on the next match, as cliché as it sounds, but [reaching my first major quarter-final] is surreal. I can’t believe it."

Eubanks will take on third seed Daniil Medvedev in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. Their only prior encounter came in the last eight of the Miami Open, which was the first time the American made it that far at a Masters 1000 event.

Medvedev won the match 6-3, 7-5, and went on to win the tournament by beating Jannik Sinner in the final.

The winner of the match between Medvedev and Eubanks will take on either defending champion Carlos Alcaraz or Holger Rune in the Wimbledon semifinals.
