| 0:10.9 | Jack Jones, Stevie and Sam, got close a few times, never want to slam. Nothing major. |
| 0:16.5 | Welcome back to Nothing Major. Everyone, John Isner here, Sam Query, Stevie Johnson, Jack Sock is not with us on this Friday. |
| 0:24.1 | But let's move on with the show, review some of our predictions at the beginning of the year, whether they were good, whether they were downright awful. |

| 1:26.9 | It's also tricky. |
| 1:27.6 | He's so good. |
| 1:28.9 | You have to pick somebody who didn't win a Masters 1,000. to do manure, and he did not play well. It's also tricky. |
