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 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!

The guys sit down with Nick Pachelli to talk some of the most beautiful tennis courts in the world 🌎🎾

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.
