"I've always thought that being yourself on the court really endears you to fans," Blake told Reuters at the All England Club. "Eubanks is genuinely like that and I think that shines through to the fans, that he's having fun out there. "I hope the cameras follow him because he's going to be one of the stars who ends up on the side of a bus," said Blake.
