Medvedev isn’t the only one who’s lost his mind on a tennis court. This week, Justin and Jody come clean about their own moments—from an argument that nearly got Jody defaulted to Justin damaging a windscreen and taking a loss out on his car door. We’re no better 😂 We also talk about a player trying to steal a point before complimenting the shot, Jody’s six-match losing streak, and how we try to reset when things aren’t going our way. Plus, we answer your questions about pre-match routines, getting heckled by crowds, life on the road, and what we’d do differently if we were starting tennis again at 15. We get into what keeps Djokovic competing and why we think Vacherot’s success is more than a hot streak.

Tristan Schoolkate spent nearly two years away from home chasing the top 100. He played 36 tournaments in one season and finished the year at No. 100 exactly. What did it take to get there—and how did he feel when he finally stopped? Tristan joins us from the Challenger tour to talk about the constant travel, injuries, tough losses, and the work of finding joy in another week on the road. We also get into his Australian Open match against Jannik Sinner, the decisions behind taking a break, and what he’s learning about his game. Subscribe to The Changeover for conversations with the players living this side of pro tennis.

Justin is in Brazil playing his first tournament back, Jody is in China at an ATP 250, and somehow the conversation ends up with robots taking over professional sports 😂 We talk about the journey to Brazil, tournament life in Curitiba, what it’s like being an alternate at an ATP 250, volley technique, how long it’ll be before robots can actually compete with professional athletes, cooking, rackets, and Jody’s experience doing 75 Hard.

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?
