196: The Best Slamless Player & Is Tommy Paul an 80’s Rocker? | EP 196

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.
