The second round match of Wimbledon 2023 between Cameron Norrie and Christopher Eubanks will take place on July 7.
Despite struggling with his serve and underperforming this season, Cameron Norrie has rarely exited a tournament without a victory. His recent four-set triumph over Tomas Machac in the first round of Wimbledon marked his 12th opening-round win of the year, an impressive feat considering his participation in only 14 tournaments. It was also the first time in 2023 that the top-ranked British player defeated a non-French opponent in a Grand Slam. In previous Grand Slam events this year, Norrie secured two wins in both the Australian Open and the French Open, all against French players. Throughout his appearances, Norrie has shown consistent improvement, reaching a career-best performance at the 2022 edition of Wimbledon, where he defeated notable opponents like Tommy Paul and David Goffin and even led eventual champion Novak Djokovic by a set in the semifinals.
The rain interruptions and match postponements worked in Christopher Eubanks’ favor, providing him with valuable time to recover from a challenging week in Mallorca. Despite the extended recovery period, he faced difficulties against clay-court specialist Thiago Monteiro, who won the first set and remained competitive in the next two sets, resulting in a 4-6 7-5 7-5 6-3 victory for Monteiro. Eubanks is currently in outstanding form, experiencing the most successful phase of his career. He recently had competitive matches against Richard Gasquet in Stuttgart and Hubert Hurkacz in Halle. Additionally, Eubanks claimed his first-ever ATP title in Mallorca just last week, displaying dominance in the championship match against Adrian Mannarino.
