On this episode of Nothing Major, Sam, John, and Stevie recap a huge week on grass. They break down Frances Tiafoe’s title run in Halle, where he beat Taylor Fritz without facing a break point and finally snapped a seven-match skid against him.

Then they head to Queen’s, where Francisco Cerúndolo battled through a tough week to win the title and got a special moment with his parents making the trip from Argentina for the final.

Plus, the guys discuss Linda Nosková’s win in Berlin, Jessica Pegula’s momentum heading into Wimbledon, Alexandra Eala’s recent form and the biggest story in tennis: Serena Williams’ return to Wimbledon singles.

On this episode of Nothing Major, Sam, John, and Stevie tackle the hottest topic in tennis: John Isner eating on the podcast.

Then they get into the biggest story of the week: Serena Williams is back. Serena’s return to doubles at Queen’s sparks a debate about whether she could make a real singles comeback—and whether anyone should count her out.

The guys also break down Ben Shelton’s clutch title run in Stuttgart, Kamil Majchrzak’s shocking grass-court breakthrough in ’s-Hertogenbosch, and Donna Vekic’s Queen’s Club title as a lucky loser (plus a quick lesson on how lucky losers actually work).

He talked with the guys a while back about what he needed to do to become a major champion, and he did it 👏

On this Roland-Garros finals edition of Something Major, John Isner, Sam Querrey, and Steve Johnson recap a dramatic men’s final as Alexander Zverev wins his first Grand Slam, regrouping after a tense fourth-set tiebreak and cruising 6-1 in the fifth to beat Cobolli. They also discuss what the title means for his legacy and Hall of Fame case. They debate whether Zverev can add more majors with Sinner and Alcaraz looming, then shift to the women’s final where Andreeva wins easily in straight sets ending the Cinderella run from Chwalinska and sparking debate about Andreeva’s place among the WTA elite. They also share behind-the-scenes Roland-Garros TV moments, conclude their bracket contest winners.

Sam Querrey and John Isner open from Paris after the Roland-Garros semifinals. They recap the first men’s semifinal that never happened after Matteo Arnaldi pulled out with an illness minutes before playing Cobolli, likely worsened by Arnaldi’s heavy time on court.

They then discuss Alexander Zverev beating Jakub Menšík, crediting Zverev’s high first-serve percentage and baseline control, and preview the final with the guys having Zverev as the clear favorite despite slow starts.

Plus they cover the women’s semis: Maya Chwalinska’s dream run continues after defeating Diana Shnaider with crafty variety and Mirra Andreeva routing Marta Kostyuk comfortably to set up an Andreeva vs Chwalinska final.

Do you think John & Sam could really score multiple times (or at all) against a pro keeper?

John, Sam, Stevie, and special guest Caroline Wozniacki react to one of the biggest matches of the year as João Fonseca takes down Novak Djokovic in a five set thriller at Roland Garros. The gang breaks down Fonseca’s incredible comeback, Djokovic’s stunning five set record, and whether the draw is now wide open for a first time Grand Slam champion.

Meanwhile, Casper Ruud survives Tommy Paul in another five setter, Zverev suddenly finds himself carrying favorite pressure, and the guys debate who’s left standing in a draw that has completely exploded over the past few days.

On the women’s side, Coco Gauff crashes out against Potapova, Iga Swiątek starts looking like vintage Iga again, and the crew closes with Round of 16 predictions, and one final argument over whether they could score a penalty kick against a Champions League goalkeeper.

The guys discuss whether a comeback could actually happen with Caroline Wozniacki

John, Sam, Stevie, and special guest Caroline Wozniacki react to one of the biggest upsets EVER at a Major, as Jannik Sinner completely collapses from 6-3, 6-2, 5-1 up against Juan Manuel Cerúndolo in the Paris heat.

The boys debate the controversial mid match timeout and whether heat might genuinely be Sinner’s biggest weakness, leading to a full discussion on genetics, body cooling, acclimation, and what he may need to change long term to survive brutal Slam conditions.

Elsewhere at French Open, Frances Tiafoe survives Hubert Hurkacz in five and celebrates by ripping the shirt off, Moise Kouame turns Lenglen into complete chaos, and Jakub Menšík wins a 13-11 fifth set breaker while cramping so badly he leaves the court in a wheelchair.

Plus: João Fonseca’s comeback, Novak Djokovic keeping the “25” dream alive, and the Alejandro Davidovich Fokina coaching split becoming the messiest storyline in Paris.

On the women’s side, Elena Rybakina suffers the biggest upset of Round 2, Serena Williams comeback rumors start flying again, and the crew closes with Round 3 predictions, bracket standings, and a looming punishment for whoever finishes last.

But is Medvedev actually the biggest threat to Sinner if they played?

Something Major is officially back. John, Sam, and Steve return from Paris to break down a chaotic opening round at Roland-Garros: surprise exits, brutal heat, questionable scheduling, and a few retirement-era feelings creeping in. Paris also says goodbye to Stan Wawrinka and hometown hero Gaël Monfils, who may have given the fans one last classic five-set battle.

The guys revisit Medvedev’s latest clay-court disaster, while somehow Sam still thinks he’s got a chance against Sinner. They also break down Basavareddy’s fearless drop-shot clinic against Fritz and Casper Ruud surviving heat issues, a fourth-set bagel, and still finding a way through in five.

On the women’s side, most top seeds handled business before Genie Bouchard joins the show to break down the draw and make her pick for the title... a pretty popular one!

Plus, things get predictably sidetracked with heat complaints, stomach issues, and Sam accidentally eating 30 multivitamins because he thought they were gummy candy... just another completely "normal" pod episode!

John, Sam, and Stevie officially enter Roland-Garros mode, where one question takes over the entire men’s draw: can anyone stop Jannik Sinner? The guys make their picks, debate why Novak Djokovic somehow keeps showing up near the top of the odds board, throw out dark horses, and come up with increasingly ridiculous theories for how Sinner could actually lose.

On the women’s side, nobody agrees on anything. Iga, Sabalenka, Coco, Rybakina — the board turns into complete chaos as the guys make title picks, argue over who’s being underrated, and try to figure out whether taking “the field” might be the safest bet.

Plus: Most Beautiful Courts returns with absurd tennis postcard locations, and things completely derail during an overrated TV show draft featuring Yellowstone, Friends, Stranger Things, airport breakfast outrage, and several takes that may age worse than the Roland-Garros predictions.

Sam Querrey and Stevie Johnson hold down this two-man episode of Nothing Major, starting with a college tennis weekend in Athens where Stevie and John got inducted into the ITA Hall of Fame. Sam also discovers retirement apparently comes with paperwork and launches a search mission for the legendary ball kid from the Almagro match.

Then it’s Rome recap time, where Jannik Sinner keeps collecting Masters titles like it’s a side quest. The guys break down whether anyone can actually bother him right now, give Casper Ruud and Luciano Darderi some love, and wonder what exactly qualifies as cramps these days.

Plus: Svitolina shakes up the French Open picture, Andy Murray joins Jack Draper, Musetti pulls out of Roland-Garros, Carlos Alcaraz lands a Vanity Fair shoot, and Sam gets an unexpected orthodontic evaluation in the middle of Costco.

John, Sam, and Stevie debate their year-end ATP Top 10 predictions… and things immediately get messy. They somehow turn the Race to Turin into an argument, people start calling each other losers, and there’s already concern these picks may age horribly.

The guys also hit the Fan Mailbag, including a hypothetical showdown between 2011 Djokovic and 2026 Jannik Sinner, a trip back to Madrid’s old ballgirl era, and a juicy Life Advice involving an aggressively planned family vacation that completely splits the group.

Then, we’re joined by Nick Pachelli, author of The Tennis Court, for a hunt through some of the most beautiful courts in the world. From satellite scouting and random door-knocking to hidden gems most tennis fans have never heard of, Nick shares stories from years spent chasing the game’s coolest locations.

Plus, Margaret returns for a Major Match update and gives us a “where are they now?” on the chaos... including what happened after the cameras stopped rolling and whether anyone deserves a second chance.

As the NCAA Championships heat up, the guys dive into the debate around young American players 🆚 older international recruits

Back in October 2024, 3-time Grand Slam finalist Casper Ruud joined the pod.

Casper opened up about facing Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in Slam finals, that Netflix tunnel moment at Roland Garros, and why he was actually relieved he didn’t become World No. 1 before winning a Slam.

How would you rank this possible achievement for Sinner at such a young age?

Sam, John and Steve break down everything happening midway through the Rome Open, starting with 20-year-old Dino Prizmic shocking his idol Novak Djokovic, and what that loss could mean for Novak heading into Paris.

Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner continues to look like a machine built in a secret Italian lab, entering Paris with better odds than prime Rafa once had. Is it the field… or is Sinner just on another level?

On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka loses to Sorana Cirstea while battling a lower-back issue, sparking a debate about whether Italian hotel beds are destroying players’ backs.

Things also get heated during the Fonseca-Medjedovic drama, where Joao earns our Major respect for courageously asking Brazilian fans to calm things down after the atmosphere started drifting into football territory.

Plus: Grand Slam boycott rumors, “cease and assist”, and Sam continuing his all-out war against Friday podcast releases.

On this Friday episode of Nothing Major, the guys welcome TNT host Adam Lefkoe to the pod!

Lefkoe pulls back the curtain on landing the Roland-Garros desk job. He talks about cramming for tennis coverage through podcasts and Tennis Channel, then learning on the fly alongside legends like Brian Anderson, Jim Courier, and Lindsay Davenport.

Lefkoe also explains how he builds instant rapport with players, the moments that make him most nervous on air, and an uncomfortable interview exchange when Andre Agassi asked Andrey Medvedev about the war in Ukraine. Later, he reveals which guests he’d love to bring back — including Novak Djokovic, Andrey Medvedev, and Coco Gauff — before the group previews major Roland-Garros storylines like Novak’s chase for No. 25 and whether Jannik Sinner can survive deep five-set battles.
They wrap things up with listener-style questions, sponsorship talk, and a hilarious travel pet peeves draft centered on airport and plane etiquette.

The ATP Fantasy segment was brought to you by our #partner ATP Tour.

On this Monday episode of Nothing Major, Sam Querrey, John Isner, Steve Johnson and special guest Steve Weissman recap Madrid and preview Rome. Weissman explains how he writes and runs TC Live, then the group breaks down Jannik Sinner’s emphatic 6-2, 6-1 win over Alexander Zverev in a 56-minute Masters final and debates what it would take to beat Sinner, plus where Zverev fits behind Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.

They cover Marta Kostyuk beating Mirra Andreeva for a WTA 1000 title, discuss Kostyuk’s backflip background, and highlight Hailey Baptiste’s upset of Aryna Sabalenka saving six match points.

The show hits Kei Nishikori announcing his final season and top players’ criticism of French Open prize money. The show then features “Wiseman’s Wisdom” backing Arthur Fils, stats on Sabalenka’s streaks, and Sam’s query comparing popularity of Cristiano Ronaldo, Roger Federer and Virat Kohli worldwide.
The show closes with Rome picks, Iga Swiatek concern, ATP fantasy changes, and a closing Pacific-time rant.

Ethan Quinn joins live from Madrid to talk tour life, Sam calling his first ATP title, and staying cool under pressure. He breaks down his aggressive, forehand-first game, love of serve-and-volley, and the origin of his “Cobra” forehand. From Fresno to NCAA champ at Georgia, he opens up on the harsh jump to pro—losses, College initiations, terrible haircuts, European peeves, and levelling up mentally and technically.

Plus: the debut of Major Memories, a new segment dropping every last Friday of the month, and the guys rank Madrid arrival fashion fits, where Diallo shines & Quinn gets roasted.

On this Friday episode of Nothing Major, the guys interview lefty Cincinnati semifinalist Terence Atmane (“The Magician”) about doing card tricks, starting tennis at 7 after playing Wii, going all-in at 14, and nearly switching to Fortnite/Call of Duty esports during COVID. He shares taking a six-hour IQ test (158), learning to manage overthinking and anger on court, and what clicked during his Cincinnati run, confidence from qualifying, playing free as an underdog, and a “delusional” mindset of being the favorite. Atmane also discusses the Fermi paradox and believing in aliens, French-player camaraderie (including Gaël Monfils), sneaker culture, and a Pokémon collection he values around $500k–$600k. The show wraps with fan questions and life advice!
