    Sinner Reigns in Monte Carlo, Iga x Rafa & Clay Season Outlook | EP 165

    On this Monday episode of Nothing Major, Sam, John, and Stevie break down Jannik Sinner’s dominant run in Monte Carlo, and what it signals for the rest of the clay season. Is he now the player to beat on this surface? They also unpack the final, including Carlos Alcaraz’s performance and the impact of the conditions, before zooming out to a bigger conversation: can Sincaraz realistically challenge the Big 3’s Masters 1000 records?The conversation then shifts to the Iga Swiatek–Rafa Nadal crossover, a rare moment between two dominant forces on clay. The guys explore what impact Rafa can have on her as she looks to rediscover her best level. We also touch on Holger Rune’s rapid recovery, with a potential return in Hamburg sooner than expected. Along the way, there’s a brief detour into Coachella stories, before the episode wraps with a look ahead to the clay swing — key storylines, contenders to watch, and who might be driving away with two Porsches this week. 00:00 Intro and Jack Announcement02:14 Coachella Weekend Stories03:42 Rafa Nadal at Augusta05:08 Monte Carlo Final: Sinner vs Alcaraz06:36 Match Breakdown (Conditions + Turning Points)08:11 Sinner’s Backhand Dominance09:24 Has the Rivalry Shifted?11:03 Rankings vs Slams Debate12:47 Can Sinner Catch the Big 3?15:12 Is Sinner Pulling Away?17:38 Clay Season Outlook20:26 Monte Carlo Takeaways23:09 1-Week vs 2-Week Masters Debate26:41 Nadal Coaching Iga Discussion31:58 Rune Comeback + Injury Debate40:44 Tennis Culture + Prize Money Talk49:06 ATP Fantasy Update50:18 New Song + Outro

    Big 3 Doubles Debate, Ranking Tennis Influencers and Our Worst Segment Ever | EP 164

    Sam kicks things off with our official Influencer Power Rankings — and yes, it gets controversial (with a special mention you won’t expect). From there, John and Steve dive into the best (and most random) non-tennis sponsorships in the game — from yachts and burritos to Capri Sun and Bass Pro Shops. Then… things completely fall apart. The guys attempt a “Below Deck: Tennis Edition” segment, building the ultimate yacht crew — and it quickly turns into what might be our worst segment ever. We somehow recover with fan questions, including the ultimate debate: who’s the best doubles player out of the Big 3? 00:00 Show Overview & Influencer Rankings Kickoff00:42 Nothing Major Influencer Power Rankings06:33 “Below Deck: Tennis Edition”13:20 Best Non-Tennis Sponsorships in Tennis20:57 Fan Questions: Big 3 Doubles Debate24:09 Dealing with Annoying Fans27:38 Reverse Life Advice!33:07 Wimbledon, Influencers & No-Phone Debate34:47 Goodbye!
