Chris Eubanks and Ben Shelton are raising the bar of brotherhood! Rather than standing against each other on the tennis court as rivals, both of them are always seen supporting and standing by each other, just like brothers. Recently, the 27-year-old American tennis player, just like a big brother, talked about Shelton’s rise to athletic fame.

This year’s most talked-about rookie on the ATP tour is the 21-year-old. He not only faced formidable opposition but also advanced to the US Open semifinals. While Eubanks shared the tennis glam with his American counterpart, he has some great words to say about Shelton’s personality, which gave him an advantage both on and off the court.

After seeing the tennis glory somewhere or another, both players have enjoyed a rise on the court. But Shelton’s rise came out to be a huge surprise in the tennis arena. Recently, in an interview with ‘Tennis Channel Inside-In’, Eubanks talked about how the 17th-ranked tennis player touched this height at such an early stage of his career.

Eubanks said, “To see the notoriety and the fame and everything that he’s kind of gotten, I personally don’t think it could have happened to a better person. I think he’s an incredible kid. He’s so talented. And at the end of the day to see kind of the world finding out who Ben Shelton is it’s been really cool because I feel like I’ve been right there kind of a little maybe not from the beginning.”

In addition to sharing this endearing message about how everything could not have worked out better for his younger brother. He also expressed his happiness at witnessing Shelton advance on the professional scene, saying it’s like receiving a reward for him. Whether it’s supporting him on the court or standing tall like a big brother, it won’t be wrong to say that Eubanks has won his fans’ hearts with his personality.
