On this episode of Nothing Major, Sam and Stevie take the reins and welcome Diana Shnaider fresh off her Roland-Garros semifinal run.

Diana talks about the quick turnaround from Paris to grass season, why she chose NC State as a top junior, and what college tennis was really like before making the leap to the pro tour.
She also breaks down her French Open run, including her win over Madison Keys, her battle with Aryna Sabalenka, and the lessons she took from reaching her first Grand Slam semifinal. Plus, thoughts on working with Sascha Bajin & life on tour.

The guys finish on fan questions covering first-class travel, tennis finances, Survivor, and social etiquette.
