Zverev, Tiafoe or Fonseca: Who Wins Their First Grand Slam at Roland Garros?

The French Open is officially guaranteed to crown a NEW Grand Slam champion — but who will take advantage of the opportunity?

This week on The Changeover Podcast, Justin Roberts and Jody Maginley break down the chaos unfolding at Roland Garros after the exits of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Novak Djokovic. With Alexander Zverev, Frances Tiafoe, Lorenzo Musetti, Tomas Machac, Joao Fonseca and others chasing their first major title, the draw has never felt more open.

We also discuss:

Whether this is finally Zverev's moment
Frances Tiafoe's comeback win and on-court confrontation
Joao Fonseca and the pressure of being tennis' next superstar
Novak Djokovic's chances at Wimbledon
Why some young players develop faster than others
What separates elite competitors from everyone else
Real doubles tactics from the Challenger Tour
Jody's wild Arkansas crowd experience
Justin's Los Angeles adventure, hiking, tacos and the best donut he's ever eaten

Plus we answer Patreon questions about competing under pressure, mental toughness, junior tennis development, Caribbean music, and the random thoughts that pop into your head during matches.
