    179: 2026 Roland Garros Round 3 Recap, Fonseca UPSETS Djokovic | Something Major | EP 179

    31/05/2026 | 41 mins.
    John, Sam, Stevie, and special guest Caroline Wozniacki react to one of the biggest matches of the year as João Fonseca takes down Novak Djokovic in a five set thriller at Roland Garros. The gang breaks down Fonseca’s incredible comeback, Djokovic’s stunning five set record, and whether the draw is now wide open for a first time Grand Slam champion.
    Meanwhile, Casper Ruud survives Tommy Paul in another five setter, Zverev suddenly finds himself carrying favorite pressure, and the guys debate who’s left standing in a draw that has completely exploded over the past few days.
    On the women’s side, Coco Gauff crashes out against Potapova, Iga Swiątek starts looking like vintage Iga again, and the crew closes with Round of 16 predictions, and one final argument over whether they could score a penalty kick against a Champions League goalkeeper.

    178: 2026 Roland Garros Round 2 Recap, Sinner's SHOCKING Loss | Something Major | EP 178

    28/05/2026 | 30 mins.
    John, Sam, Stevie, and special guest Caroline Wozniacki react to one of the biggest upsets EVER at a Major, as Jannik Sinner completely collapses from 6-3, 6-2, 5-1 up against Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the Paris heat. 
    The boys debate the controversial mid match timeout and whether heat might genuinely be Sinner’s biggest weakness, leading to a full discussion on genetics, body cooling, acclimation, and what he may need to change long term to survive brutal Slam conditions.
    Elsewhere at French Open, Frances Tiafoe survives Hubert Hurkacz in five and celebrates by ripping the shirt off, Moise Kouame turns Lenglen into complete chaos, and Jakub Menšík wins a 13-11 fifth set breaker while cramping so badly he leaves the court in a wheelchair. 
    Plus: João Fonseca’s comeback, Novak Djokovic keeping the “25” dream alive, and the Alejandro Davidovich Fokina coaching split becoming the messiest storyline in Paris.
    On the women’s side, Elena Rybakina suffers the biggest upset of Round 2, Serena Williams comeback rumors start flying again, and the crew closes with Round 3 predictions, bracket standings, and a looming punishment for whoever finishes last.

    177: 2026 Roland Garros Round 1 Recap & Round 2 Predictions | Something Major | EP 177

    26/05/2026 | 31 mins.
    Something Major is officially back. John, Sam, and Steve return from Paris to break down a chaotic opening round at Roland-Garros: surprise exits, brutal heat, questionable scheduling, and a few retirement-era feelings creeping in. Paris also says goodbye to Stan Wawrinka and hometown hero Gaël Monfils, who may have given the fans one last classic five-set battle.
    The guys revisit Medvedev’s latest clay-court disaster, while somehow Sam still thinks he’s got a chance against Sinner. They also break down Basavareddy’s fearless drop-shot clinic against Fritz and Casper Ruud surviving heat issues, a fourth-set bagel, and still finding a way through in five. 
    On the women’s side, most top seeds handled business before Genie Bouchard joins the show to break down the draw and make her pick for the title... a pretty popular one!
    Plus, things get predictably sidetracked with heat complaints, stomach issues, and Sam accidentally eating 30 multivitamins because he thought they were gummy candy... just another completely "normal" pod episode!

    176: Roland Garros Preview, Uncovering Beautiful Courts, & Overrated TV Shows | EP 176

    22/05/2026 | 43 mins.
    John, Sam, and Stevie officially enter Roland-Garros mode, where one question takes over the entire men’s draw: can anyone stop Jannik Sinner? The guys make their picks, debate why Novak Djokovic somehow keeps showing up near the top of the odds board, throw out dark horses, and come up with increasingly ridiculous theories for how Sinner could actually lose.
    On the women’s side, nobody agrees on anything. Iga, Sabalenka, Coco, Rybakina — the board turns into complete chaos as the guys make title picks, argue over who’s being underrated, and try to figure out whether taking “the field” might be the safest bet.
    Plus: Most Beautiful Courts returns with absurd tennis postcard locations, and things completely derail during an overrated TV show draft featuring Yellowstone, Friends, Stranger Things, airport breakfast outrage, and several takes that may age worse than the Roland-Garros predictions.

    175: Sinner’s Historic Streak, Svitolina’s Rome 3-Peat & The Cramping Debate | EP 175

    18/05/2026 | 43 mins.
    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.
