Alexander Zverev is a two-time Grand Slam champion, but has he genuinely closed the gap on Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz?We break down Zverev’s latest major victory, the composure he showed against Ben Shelton, and why his high-percentage style makes him so difficult to beat. We also discuss whether we’re seeing a more confident and likable version of Zverev, where Shelton fits among the next generation, and the opportunities emerging whenever Sinner and Alcaraz aren’t fully healthy.Plus, Jody checks in from the Challenger Tour in China, we debate airplane etiquette, discuss influencer behavior at tennis tournaments, and answer questions from the listeners.Follow us for honest tennis conversations from two players living the professional tour.Join the Patreon to submit questions for future episodes and get bonus content:  / thechangeover  🎾 Welcome to The Changeover Podcast 🎾Ever wondered what life is really like as a professional tennis player?

David Rodolitz and Penny Lerner took time out from setting up Taste of Tennis at Flyfish club to sit down with Jody and Justin and share some incredible food. The boys found out when to tip in NYC, how to get in without a reservation and which top tennis player once forgot to tip after receiving VIP treatment.

ATP star Karen Khachanov sits down with Justin and Jody live from the Wilson flagship store in Soho, New York. Karen reveals the massive racket mistake he made after beating Novak Djokovic, why Andrey Rublev's music career makes him laugh, and the benefits of playing 5-set Grand Slam matches.There's also Jody's favourite - Trivia - and an essential chat about toilet roll...

Taylor Fritz broke his racket in the first game, Jody is making his return to singles, and The Changeover is officially heading to the US Open.
This week we get into everything from the Rafa Jodar shoe situation and his Grand Slam potential to Alcaraz’s cornrows, the difference between Futures and Challenger life, how players handle pressure points, and what we’d change about professional tennis.
We also talk racket deals at the lower levels of the tour, whether today’s top players are fitter than the Big 3, Jack Draper’s injury struggles, balancing tennis with creating content, old vs. new training methods, dealing with pushers, and some of the young players we think you should be watching.
Plus, somehow, AI Fruit Love Island and whether you actually need to wash certain things make their way into the conversation.
