A fan favorite .. and a player's favorite: Kudos rolls in for Chris Eubanks after Wimbledon fourth-round victory

WATCH: Chris Eubanks credited Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka for always believing that he had this level of tennis in him.

Chris Eubanks has won over the crowds in SW19 and made a name for himself with fans on-site and around the world alike with his breakout run through to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. But he already had his biggest cheerleaders amongst his peers in the locker room.

After Eubanks finished off a five-set win over Stefanos Tsitsipas in Monday's fourth round, he told reports how much the support of good friends on tour, chiefly that of Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka, has meant to him. The talented WTA duo, Eubanks said, recognized his talent before he saw it in himself, and their hunger to achieve greatness was "infectious."

"I think the biggest thing, it's a common theme amongst both of them, they've been saying for a long time that they feel like I belong at this level," Eubanks said.

"For a long time I questioned, again, whether or not I was consistent enough to play at this level really consistently. I knew I could come out on any match and maybe light it up, could cause some guys some trouble. I don't know if I really believed I could put it together match after match after match against quality opponents.

"That's something Coco has been telling me for a long time. Naomi even says the same thing. That's kind of been the main thing of just reinforcing and instilling confidence. 'Hey, you can play at this level, you just got to believe it.'"

Gauff was in the stands with her parents, Corey and Candi, on Monday to watch Eubanks' big win, and Osaka, off the tour on maternity leave, was watching from home, as per her Instagram story.

Count fellow Wimbledon quarterfinalist Madison Keys, 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens, and Top 10 player Frances Tiafoe as card-carrying members of the Eubanks fan club, too.

In Dallas this winter, Keys and Stephens played an exhibition match ahead of the ATP 250 tournament, and tennis host and emcee Blair Henley re-upped a promotional video in the aftermath of Eubanks' win over Tsitsipas in which the pair took turns engaging in some good-natured ribbing of their buddy.

The chief thing it taught us? The 6-foot-7 Eubanks is the king of nicknames on tour, from "Daddy Longlegs" and "Toothpick"—because of his "skinny legs," Tiafoe says in a cameo appearance—to, simply, "giraffe."

From top-ranked American Jessica Pegula to John Isner—who played college tennis at Eubanks' Georgia Tech rival, the University of Georgia—the reception for Eubanks' win online was a goldmine of positivity.

Eubanks will look to keep the good vibes going when he faces No. 3 seed Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals on Wednesday.

"I just think the entire experience all together has just been a whirlwind," Eubanks said. "It's been something that you dream about. But I think for me I didn't really know if that dream would actually come true. I'm sitting here in it now, so it's pretty cool."
