Eubanks, who goes by Chris, was born in 1996 in Atlanta. His dad, Mark Eubanks, is a Baptist minister, and a tennis fan. His maternal grandfather started a Baptist church in Memphis. “My grandfather, my mom’s father, started what’s now a fairly prominent Baptist church in Memphis,” Eubanks said. “The funny thing about being a preacher’s kid is when you’re playing tournaments on Saturdays and Sundays, you miss a lot of Sunday services!” His mom, Carla, would accompany him to his Sunday matches because his dad was in church.

He continued, “I think it’s more so just about instilling faith at a young age is pretty important, especially to my parents, and I think faith can mean different things to different people. For me, one of the main things about having faith is just simply taking it into every walk of life, which could be also my tennis. It’s just trusting that if I keep doing what I’m supposed to do, it’s going to work out.
