The boys are BACK after a little post US Open hiatus, and there’s plenty to catch up on.
The US is out of Davis Cup after a wild 3 2 loss to Czechia in Prague, Ben Shelton makes the trip straight from the US Open final, and Holger Rune makes his return after 11 months away.
Plus, Juan Carlos Ferrero is returning to coaching, but who’s he going to work with? We make our picks. Sinner lays out a packed schedule as he chases year end No. 1, Zverev has the same goal in mind, Novak makes an unexpected appearance with Kevin Hart, and the guys weigh in on the new Six Queen Slam in Seoul.
Also, Sam’s horseback riding weight loss journey begins, Stevie brings back some wild stats, and we settle the most important question of all: Davis Cup or Laver Cup? We have VERY different opinions... as always!

On this episode of Something Major, Sam, John, and Stevie break down the US Open finals, starting with Alexander Zverev’s four-set win over Ben Shelton, an early break, a lopsided second-set tiebreak, and a crucial 24-shot rally that helped turn the match. They discuss Zverev’s return tactics, his ability to take pace off the ball, and the strange moment he didn’t realize he’d won.
On the women’s side, they recap Elena Rybakina’s three-set win over Aryna Sabalenka, focusing on her first-strike tennis, composure, and Sabalenka’s frustration.
Plus, they cover the US Open celebrity scene, scheduling against the NFL, travel routines, Shelton’s breakout, Fritz’s disappointment, tournament takeaways, and the final bracket challenge results.
