Aleksandar Vukic has continued his brilliant week on American hard courts by outplaying Christopher Eubanks to reach the Atlanta semifinals.
It is Vukic’s first ever tour-level semifinal, and it came thanks to a 6-4 6-4 win over Eubanks, the recent Wimbledon quarterfinalist.
Eubanks may have been the better-known and more highly-fancied prospect, especially given he had the backing of a home crowd.
But Vukic improved his head-to-head record against the American to 5-2, including 4-1 this season alone.
👏
Some special tennis on the way from @Vuki_SMASH23 as he defeats Eubanks to reach a first tour-level semifinal!
