- Vandeweghe joked she could reach about 115 mph and said she was “recreating a new career,” after Eubanks noted he didn’t want to dwell on his own serve or past accomplishments.
- The clip ended with Eubanks rolling his eyes as Vandeweghe spoke, a moment widely shared on social media and read by some viewers as irritation.
