Chris Eubanks announced his retirement from professional tennis on Monday, while also leaving the door open for a possible comeback on the road.
The 29-year-old American posted the following on social media:
“If you told this little boy from south Atlanta that he would have accomplished everything he did, he wouldn’t believe you,” Eubanks wrote on social media. “2-time ACC Player of the Year? Yes, right. Wimbledon [quarterfinalist]? No chance. An Olympian? Unfathomable. I had an opportunity to travel the world and build incredible relationships while fulfilling a lifelong dream: playing professional tennis. I can’t put into words how blessed I have been. Is this absolutely the end?! Hard to say for sure (…) but if so, WHOOPTY DOO!!! It was an incredible ride.”
The highlight of Eubanks’ career came in 2023, when he broke into the top 100 for the first time in his career at the Miami Masters. After his quarterfinal performance at that Masters 1000 event, the former Georgia Tech standout won the only ATP title of his career on the grass courts of Mallorca and reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon.
After peaking at No. 29 in the world, Eubanks fell outside the top 100 in late 2024. He played sparingly this season while focusing on what he will now pursue full-time: tennis commentary.
