Stars Abandon Canada? Memphis Stories + Washington Preview | EP 199

For our special 200th Episode we’ll be joined by Frances Tiafoe, so stay tuned for that!!

On this episode of Nothing Major, John Isner, Steve Johnson, and Sam Querrey recap their weekend in Memphis for their Nothing Major Exhibition, complete with humidity, rain delays, trash talk, a modified rematch of their 2010 Memphis final, and a doubles display that had John’s return game drawing Novak comparisons.

The guys also break down the final clay-court ATP 250s of the year, discussing Quentin Halys’ title in Kitzbühel, Luca Van Assche’s win in Estoril, and Alexander Blockx’s rise after injury disrupted his grass season. Plus, they react to Sinner, Alcaraz, and Djokovic skipping the Canadian Masters, debate a 12-day Masters format and the 2028 LA Olympics scheduling clash with Wimbledon, before wrapping up with a preview of Washington DC.
