So little wonder then that Eubanks, the son of a Baptist minister from Atlanta, some 18 months ago was actively pursuing a career that involved something other than holding a racket.Ĭhris Eubanks upset Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Round of 16 in Wimbledon. He was 27, old in a game accustomed to trumpeting the next teenage shooting star, and with less than $2 million in career earnings for all his time spent in the boondocks. Heck, until this spring, he never cracked the top 100. That’s the same Chris Eubanks who earlier this season, through no fluke or quirk or cooking of the books, was ranked No. “I can’t tell you the number of messages I’ve had from back home, saying Chris Eubanks is my new favorite player,” said an impressed John McEnroe, the ESPN commentator, who long ago was the face of the American game himself. A towering 6 feet 7 inches and skinnier than the baseline’s shadow, he departed London as the most recognizable face in US men’s tennis despite his loss to a more skillful Medvedev. That episode was well written, well acted, and the characters were true to form.Eubanks indeed hit the big time at Wimbledon, the grandest tennis stage of them all, a delightful story that is equal measures remarkable and improbable. I'm just going to pretend that last week with the brewery was the season finale, and this never happened. If the Private Eyes PTB wanted a big story, MAYBE they should have done something with the key that Shade found in the Year One season finale.the key that's been ignored once he handed it to Angie.
A lot of otherwise good shows have been destroyed by this approach. Even the bit with Jules seemed off. Sadly, someone has now decided that "little" stories are not enough, the show has to have a major overarching mystery that has national/international implications. They took the clients' story at face value even after meeting the supposed bad guys (and both "bad guys" came off as nice guys). The Angie and Shade we'd come to know were capable and careful, very good at their jobs, and would have throughly vetted new clients-especially ones that were asking A&S to break the law. The finale seemed like it was written by someone that had NEVER seen the show.
