Chris Eubanks woke up Wednesday morning ahead of playing for a berth in the final four at Wimbledon against 2021 US Open champion Daniil Medvedev. Know more:

against 2021 US Open champion Daniil Medvedev and, first thing, like so many of us, reached for his phone to see what the buzz was about on Twitter.

Basking in the roars from the stands at No. 1 Court, the unseeded Eubanks came within four points of winning to extend his deepest run, by far, at a major tournament before Medvedev pulled away for a 6-4, 1-6, 4-6, 7-6 , 6-1 victory to reach the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time.If Medvedev was unsteady for a bit, perhaps distracted by a back-and-forth with the chair umpire over a stray ball that headed toward the stands, he gathered himself well.

When Alcaraz smacked a backhand return winner to seal the first set, he threw threw his head back and screamed. He paused for a second and screamed again. He strutted to the sideline, head held high, and yelled, then got to the sideline and yelled “Vamos! Vamos!”In the women’s quarterfinals, eliminated defending champion Elena Rybakina 6-7 , 6-4, 6-1 in a rematch of last year’s title match, and reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka defeated No. 25 seed Madison Keys 6-2, 6-4.

If Alcaraz’s victory was altered by the first-set tiebreaker — “He gained more confidence from that set; I didn’t,” Rune said — Medvedev’s started to tilt midway through the fourth-set tiebreaker. Then again, hard to blame a guy who came into this tournament with a career record of 2-8 at the majors and who never had won an ATP title until the week before Wimbledon began.

Medvedev, who won 28 of the 30 points he served in that set, shook his racket. He was fully back in the match — and, it turned out, on his way to a win.
