Who are Christopher Eubanks’ parents?
TENNIS star Christopher Eubanks was a two-time All-American and was previously named ACC Player of the Year twice during his time with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Now fans want to know more about the 27-year-old professional athlete and his family history.
Who are Christopher Eubanks’ parents?
Christopher Eubanks was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on born May 5, 1996, to father Chris Eubanks Sr. and Carla Eubanks.
Chris Sr. is a Baptist minister who regularly coached his sons on how to play tennis.
"I had an older brother that played tennis and my dad was involved with my brother [Mark] when I came along," Christopher told the Daily Mail.
‘When I got to the age where I could run and swing a racket, my dad put one in my hand. It just kind of went from there doing the normal route of playing local tournaments and junior tournaments and just trying to work my way up.

It wasn't until the age of 13 that Christopher started training with professional tennis player Donald Young and his family.
"His parents, when they moved down to Atlanta from Chicago, ran a tennis facility about five minutes from my house. I was about 7 or 8 at the time. My dad was coaching me right up until I was about 13. Then he didn’t really have the time as much because he was working a lot," Christopher told USTA in a 2016 interview.
"So he told me after school – I was a freshman in high school at the time – that I would get picked up for his parents’ academy – they ran an after-school program – and I would go work the after-school program with the kids.
"Afterward, I’d be able to practice with Donald when he was in town. And when he wasn’t in town, his dad would teach me. That’s when I started going there five days a week, sometimes six."
Christopher, however, credits his parents for his core values.
“I think that's probably the biggest, all-encompassing theme of how I try to go about life, is just treating others the way you want to be treated,” Eubanks told the ATP Tour.
“And oftentimes I find that in sport, we find stories of great athletes who are just killer competitors, who are, killer mindset all the time.
"And [at] times in sport, it's good. But for me, that mindset going off of the court doesn't really mesh well with my personality."

"I’d always said when I was younger, 'I definitely want to be a pro.' But when I was about 12 or 13, my dad started putting me in the 18s in a lot of tournaments, and I didn’t really understand why I was losing a lot," Christopher told USTA.
"I was like, 'Maybe the pros are going to be out of reach for me.' But when I got around Donald and got to get better and better, that’s when I got back to, 'Maybe I could do this one day.'"
