The Rafa Jodar Shoe Situation & We’re Going to the US Open

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.
