Podcast: Nothing MajorPublished On: Fri May 15 2026
Description: John, Sam, and Stevie debate their year-end ATP Top 10 predictions… and things immediately get messy. They somehow turn the Race to Turin into an argument, people start calling each other losers, and there’s already concern these picks may age horribly.The guys also hit the Fan Mailbag, including a hypothetical showdown between 2011 Djokovic and 2026 Jannik Sinner, a trip back to Madrid’s old ballgirl era, and a juicy Life Advice involving an aggressively planned family vacation that completely splits the group.Then, we’re joined by Nick Pachelli, author of The Tennis Court, for a hunt through some of the most beautiful courts in the world. From satellite scouting and random door-knocking to hidden gems most tennis fans have never heard of, Nick shares stories from years spent chasing the game’s coolest locations.Plus, Margaret returns for a Major Match update and gives us a “where are they now?” on the chaos... including what happened after the cameras stopped rolling and whether anyone deserves a second chance.00:00 Intro: We're Back!01:14 Most Beautiful Courts in the World!02:01 How The Book Began04:02 Finding Hidden Courts06:09 Favorites Courts and Private Courts Access09:45 Best US Courts16:24 Where To Buy the Book18:10 Favorite Not Seen Moments20:47 Rankings Predictions Begin22:00 Sam Picks Top 1023:07 Stevie Makes His List24:27 Isner's Time!25:15 Comparing The Picks27:29 Fan Challenge28:44 Madrid Ball Crew Talk31:41 Sinner 2026 Vs Djokovic 2011 34:08 Life Advice: Vacation With Annoying People38:40 Margaret Match Update44:28 Wrap Up And Goodbye!
