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.

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!

Former professional tennis players Sam Querrey, John Isner, Jack Sock, and Steve Johnson break down some of Rafael Nadal’s most impressive clay-court statistics outside of the French Open. The discussion highlights just how dominant Nadal has been on the red dirt throughout his career and further strengthens the case for why he is widely regarded as the greatest clay-court player of all time.

Watch the full episode here! https://youtu.be/-GZS1ffF9EU?si=0rlX5OJY9VrQGLNf

Are Nadal's stats on clay unbeatable?

@ThePlayersBoxPodcast join to discuss the current state of parity in the game.

The guys give us their picks

On this Monday episode of Nothing Major, Sam, John, and Stevie break down Jannik Sinner’s dominant run in Monte Carlo, and what it signals for the rest of the clay season. Is he now the player to beat on this surface?

They also unpack the final, including Carlos Alcaraz’s performance and the impact of the conditions, before zooming out to a bigger conversation: can Sincaraz realistically challenge the Big 3’s Masters 1000 records?

The conversation then shifts to the Iga Swiatek–Rafa Nadal crossover, a rare moment between two dominant forces on clay. The guys explore what impact Rafa can have on her as she looks to rediscover her best level. We also touch on Holger Rune’s rapid recovery, with a potential return in Hamburg sooner than expected.

Along the way, there’s a brief detour into Coachella stories, before the episode wraps with a look ahead to the clay swing — key storylines, contenders to watch, and who might be driving away with two Porsches this week.

Who do you think will thrive... or not... during the current clay court swing?

Sam kicks things off with our official Influencer Power Rankings — and yes, it gets controversial (with a special mention you won’t expect).

From there, John and Steve dive into the best (and most random) non-tennis sponsorships in the game — from yachts and burritos to Capri Sun and Bass Pro Shops.

Then… things completely fall apart. The guys attempt a “Below Deck: Tennis Edition” segment, building the ultimate yacht crew — and it quickly turns into what might be our worst segment ever.

We somehow recover with fan questions, including the ultimate debate: who’s the best doubles player out of the Big 3?

It’s European swing time, which is lovely… but we do have some fun complaints!

Sam, Steve, Jack and John break down what really drives tennis players crazy in Europe.

From half-glass showers that flood the bathroom to tiny elevators that barely fit a tennis bag, the guys dive into their biggest pet peeves from life on tour.

Add in “king beds” that are actually two twins pushed together, runny scrambled eggs, chaotic airport gate announcements and the infamous hotel key slot situation, and you’ve got plenty to rant about.

It’s a mix of real tour life, first-world problems and classic Nothing Major banter.

The guys talk Marco Trungelliti's historic rise to the top 100 at age 36.

On this Monday episode of Nothing Major, Sam, John, and Stevie open with Masters week chatter and a debate over how Houston clay compares to European clay.
They recap Houston, where Tommy Paul won his first clay-court title in a dramatic final over Roman Burruchaga after saving match points, and they shout out Houston’s famously well-dressed crowd while discussing why Americans rarely win big titles on European clay.
Next, they move to Charleston as Jessica Pegula defends her title and continues her strong 2026, with debate over whether she can win a major given the problems posed by Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek. In Major News, they highlight Marco Trungelliti becoming the oldest player to debut in the Top 100 and Rafael Jodar’s rapid rise, then finish with Stevies Stats, John’s Serve Bot of the Week, a Monte Carlo preview and picks.

They react Jannik Sinner’s historic Sunshine Double run without dropping a set and discuss how he and Carlos Alcaraz continue separating from the field and could trade the No. 1 ranking during the clay swing.

On the women’s side, they break down Sabalenka's Miami win over Coco Gauff, what it says about Sabalenka's form, and whether Gauff is the clear No. 3.
