Changeover

In *Changeover* by Brian Phillips, the baton pass in men’s tennis becomes a gripping piece of sports writing, capturing the rush of a new era as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner take centre court. Part tennis biography, part rivalry portrait, it’s ideal for readers who like their non-fiction sharp, observant, and full of on-court nuance.

Set against the fading dominance of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer, Phillips tracks the 2024 season when the sport’s biggest prizes splintered in unexpected ways. Alcaraz’s flair and improvisation meet Sinner’s cool precision, and the contrast fuels a contest that’s as much about temperament and pressure as it is about forehands and fitness. The book also looks at the wider tour chaos—other challengers, shifting expectations, and the scrutiny that follows modern champions.

Perfect for tennis fans, sports non-fiction readers, and anyone curious about the next decade of Grand Slam drama. Add it to your basket and step into tennis’s bright new chapter.
