On this episode of Nothing Major, Sam, John, and Stevie jump in with an emergency finals recap from Tokyo and Beijing, starting with Carlos Alcaraz’s Tokyo title over Jiri Lehecka and what it says about his health, form, and ever-present drop shot. Then they head to Beijing, where Novak Djokovic stays undefeated at the event and boosts his push to qualify for Turin.

The guys also unpack Medvedev’s default for hitting a ball into the crowd, Coco Gauff’s controversial point replay, and the major news that Jannik Sinner is out for the year.

Plus, they debate why 2012 was the toughest era in men’s tennis, hit fan questions, and give doubles life advice after an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.

On this episode of Nothing Major, Sam, John, and Stevie open with Sam’s ongoing weigh-in saga as he tries to lose weight ahead of a ranch day featuring horseback riding, fly fishing, and skeet shooting. They also break down the ATP 500s in Tokyo and Beijing, including Carlos Alcaraz’s run to the Tokyo final, his matchup with Jiří Lehečka, and surprising early losses for Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.

Plus, they explain how Arthur Fils ended up in qualifying despite being a top-10 player, creating a brutal draw for Frances Tiafoe.

In Beijing, they discuss Novak Djokovic’s unbeaten record at the tournament and push for Turin, a controversial replay point involving Alexander Zverev and Alex de Minaur’s run to the final. They also get into Jannik Sinner pulling out of Beijing and Shanghai, the limited injury clarity, and what it could mean for the year-end No. 1 race.
