The Australian Open is in the books, and we’re joined by Patrick Parr for a wide-ranging post-AO conversation that goes well beyond the scoreboard.

We unpack Alexander Zverev’s durability and why the French Open may represent his clearest Grand Slam opportunity, examine Carlos Alcaraz’s unmatched in-match adaptability, and break down why Jannik Sinner’s loss doesn’t change his long-term trajectory.

We also dive into the next generation of American men — including Lerner Tien and Ben Shelton — and debate whether court sense or raw power is harder to acquire at the elite level. Along the way, we touch on junk ballers, crowd dynamics, fitness myths, and why tennis careers evolve in distinct phases.

This is a practitioner’s conversation for tennis fans who want context, not just results.
