37: Sinner’s Suspension, $1M Mixed Doubles & Tommy Paul in the Hot Seat | EP 37

Nothing Major - Ein Podcast von Sift Creative

In this week's episode, Jack, John, Sam and Steve weigh in on tennis' biggest headlines! With Jannik Sinner’s three-month suspension sparking debate throughout the sport, the U.S. Open is shaking up mixed doubles, ditching the traditional format for a high-stakes, 16-team showdown with a million-dollar prize. The boys chat about tennis’ newest rising star, João Fonseca, who just became the youngest South American ATP champ since 2001. They also give a shoutout to John’s favorite doubles partner, Diego Schwartzman, who got a well-deserved farewell in Buenos Aires. And finally, Tommy Paul steps into the Hot Seat in the Part 2 of his guest appearance. From his biggest wins to the matches he’d take back, Tommy breaks it all down, including the one shot he’d steal from the Nothing Major crew (spoiler: it’s not John’s return game). 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 01:47 Pickleball Slam and Event Recap 05:03 Diego Schwartzman's Retirement 09:16 Al Fonseca's First ATP Title 15:41 Yannick Sinner's Suspension Controversy 23:04 US Open Mixed Doubles Initiative 29:08 Controversy in Doubles Tennis 29:29 Mixed Doubles: Exhibition or Competition? 30:13 US Open Fan Week and Ticketing 30:37 Eric Bak's Influence on Doubles 31:45 Tommy Paul Interview: Part Two 32:01 Tennis Confessions and Fun Questions 33:04 Ranking Tennis Players and Matches 40:25 Hot Guy Tournament and Player Reactions 44:02 Stevie's Punishment and Celebrity DMs 48:09 Merch Announcement and Trivia
