John Isner, Sam Querrey, and Steve Johnson open by celebrating 40,000 YouTube subscribers and teasing a new Wayne Bryan jingle.

On the women’s side they cover McNally over Mboko, Pegula’s loss, American standouts, illness talk around “shrimp tacos,” concerns about Iga, and Sabalenka beating Osaka.
Then they highlight a Real Madrid stadium hit, and react to the massive news of Carlos Alcaraz withdrawing from Roland Garros.
