                      CONGRATULATING CHRIS EUBANKS

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
tennis star Chris Eubanks on his impressive Wimbledon run.
  Chris Eubanks is an Atlanta native who played tennis at Georgia Tech. 
During his time at Tech, Eubanks was named the ACC Player of the Year 
twice and was a two-time all-American.
  At Wimbledon, Eubanks beat the number one British player and 2022 
Wimbledon semifinalist in a second round in front of a lively crowd. He 
advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament after defeating the 
world number five player in a more than 3-hour battle.
  Eubanks is now the 13th man in the Open Era to reach the final eight 
in his debut at Wimbledon and the first American man to do so since 
1984.
  His performance at Wimbledon propelled him to a world number 43 
ranking and has now guaranteed himself entry into every tournament and 
a seeding at the U.S. Open.
  I congratulate Mr. Eubanks on his valiant Wimbledon run and wish him 
the best of luck in his future endeavors. He has made Georgia proud and 
made his country proud.
