Christopher Eubanks beat Adrian Mannarino 6-1 6-4 to clinch his first ATP Tour title in the final of the Mallorca Championships. 

Eubanks did not face a break point in his fisrt final. The US player had to save five match points in the semifinal against Lloyd Harris on Friday. 

Eubanks earned his first break in the second game. He broke again in the sixth game and dropped only four points to clinch the first set 6-1 in 23 minutes. 

Eubanks started the second set in the opening game of the second set. Mannarino reached deuce on Eubanks’ serve in the sixth game but he was not able to break back. 

Eubanks will rise to a career-high ranking of world number 43 before Wimbledon. 

Eubanks has become the second US player to win a grass title following Frances Tiafoe’s triumph in Stuttgart.

Eubanks made a major breakthrough last March, when he came through the qualifying round to reach the quarter final at the Miami Open. 

“It means the world. It means a lot of the hard work I have been putting in, the ups and downs throughout my career. It is coming together at this point in my career. It’s a testament to the hard work. Now I just want to keep working even harder to have this feeling even more”, said Eubanks.
