from Nothing Major · host Sift Creative

On this episode of Nothing Major, John, Stevie, and Sam recap Tommy Paul and Paige Lorenze’s “wedding of the summer” before checking in on the Wimbledon final bracket standings and teasing upcoming punishments for Isner at Wimbledon and Stevie at Roland-Garros. The guys then review their grass-court “buy/sell” picks, breaking down misses on Cam Norrie and Medvedev, debating Lerner Tien’s stock, and looking back at where their predictions went right and wrong.They also discuss who’s now the best active player without a Grand Slam title after Zverev’s Roland-Garros win, landing on Casper Ruud while comparing him with Tsitsipas and Fritz and revisiting retired contenders like Ferrer, Berdych, and Marcelo Rios. Plus, they guess players’ pre-match music choices, tease next week’s pop-culture name game, and answer fan questions about Wimbledon towels, ball-selection rituals, saying “we” for sports teams, and the possibility of a one-point-slam-style influencer event.00:00 Show Intro and Agenda00:27 Wedding Weekend Recap02:42 Bracket Punishments Talk03:39 Jack and Ad Reads05:38 Grass Stock Review Picks11:20 Best Without a Slam14:41 Guess Their Walkout Music18:11 Jovic Folk Music Guess18:45 Keys And Swiftie Talk19:13 Shelton Rap Debate20:32 Fritz Fake Playlist Theory21:18 Tommy Paul 80s Rock21:40 Quinn And Tien Picks25:16 Sam Tech Issues26:58 Rocky Movies Detour27:57 Fan Q Towels At Wimbledon30:28 Ball Selection Rituals31:41 Stop Saying We Won33:04 One Point Slam Idea34:27 Wrap Up And 100k Push
