Summary
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.
