LONDON : As a personable young Black man suddenly thrust into the spotlight as the next big thing in American men's tennis, James Blake knows exactly what Chris Eubanks is going through as he enjoys the ride of his tennis life at Wimbledon.
"I've always thought that being yourself on the court really endears you to fans," Blake told Reuters at the All England Club."Eubanks is genuinely like that and I think that shines through to the fans, that he's having fun out there. They're there to be entertained and he's just having a great time.
"I hope the cameras follow him because he's going to be one of the stars who ends up on the side of a bus," said Blake."A year ago he was playing Challenge Tour trying desperately to crack the top 100 and he's now going to be a star in New York where they go crazy for the U.S. Open. It's going to be hopefully a life-changing experience for him."
"And then I'm like, 'wait a minute, I'm one of those people that people are coming to watch'. Before that I thought I'd only be on those big courts if I'm playing Agassi or Sampras. Now people are coming to watch me and this is kind of crazy."
