WASHINGTON, February 25, 2026 (by Michael Dickens)
Christopher Eubanks, who has established himself as both a fan favorite on and off the court as well as an expert tennis analyst, will join U.S.-based Tennis Channel as an on-air commentator and host debuting next week at the BNP Paribas Open, a combined ATP/WTA 1000 event in Indian Wells, Calif., in which Tennis Channel will offer over-the-air TV first-ball-to-last-ball coverage of the tournament in the United States.
On Tuesday, Tennis Channel announced it had signed the 29-year-old native of Atlanta, Ga., to a three-year deal. Eubanks, who retired from the ATP Tour at the end of the 2025 season, turned pro in 2015 and represented the U.S. at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. He reached a career-high ranked of World No. 29 following a quarterfinal run at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships.

During the past couple of years, Eubanks has moonlighted with both Tennis Channel and ESPN when he’s not been competing on the ATP Tour. Eubank’s natural charisma coupled with his thoughtful commentary – the ability to explain the game, especially from a player’s point of view – has resonated with fans.
“I’ve always loved talking tennis almost as much as playing it,” Eubanks said in a statement. “Tennis Channel has always been such an important part of how fans experience our sport, so to now joint the team in the capacity is incredibly special. Having the opportunity to share what’s happening inside the lines – the strategy, the emotions, the momentum shifts – is something I’m really excited about. Tennis has given me so much and I am looking forward to staying connected to the game in this way.”

According to Tennis Channel CEO Jeff Blackburn, the network is “thrilled” having Eubanks join the TC team. “Chris understands where tennis is right now – competitively and culturally. He brings an authenticity and point of view that resonates on-air,” he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Eubanks will continue to contribute to ESPN‘s coverage of the Australian Open, Wimbledon Championships and US Open.
