PALMA, Spain (AP) — Christopher Eubanks of the United States has earned his first ATP tour title by beating Adrian Mannarino in straight sets in the final of the Mallorca Championships. The win means he will rise to a career-high ranking of 43rd going into his first Wimbledon. The 27-year-old Eubanks had to save five match points in his semifinal against Lloyd Harris on Friday but never even faced a break point against Mannarino. He won 6-1, 6-4 in his first career final. Eubanks will face Thiago Monteiro of Brazil in the first round of Wimbledon on Tuesday in his debut at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.
