    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!

    They cover Elena Rybakina defending her Stuttgart crown and discuss whether the win boosts her Roland Garros chances, then shift to major news with Carlos Alcaraz’s wrist injury forcing him out of Madrid, plus a wave of other Madrid withdrawals and frustration with the event’s expanded format.

The guys dive into tennis’s biggest on-court meltdowns, sparked by Daniil Medvedev’s Monte Carlo racket smash and Iva Jovic's suggestion, revisiting classics from Baghdatis, Nalbandian, McEnroe, Youzhny, Kyrgios, Serena, Tarango and more, and pick a top five for fans to vote on.

    They also break down the best non-cash tournament prizes (Stuttgart Porsches, Indy’s RCA electronics giveaways, Federer’s cow, Rolex watches, and Laver Cup gifts). Finally, they launch a fan-driven search for the most beautiful tennis court in the U.S. and answer listener questions on memorable shots, friendship boundaries, and how hard to push kids in tennis.

  • 165: Sinner Reigns in Monte Carlo, Iga x Rafa & Clay Season Outlook | EP 165
    2026/04/13

    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.

  • 164: Big 3 Doubles Debate, Ranking Tennis Influencers and Our Worst Segment Ever | EP 164
    2026/04/10

    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?
