Alcaraz Rolls in Tokyo, Djokovic’s Beijing Streak, and Sinner’s Mysterious Knee | EP 220

Sam (0:00)

All right, everyone, on today's episode of Nothing Major, we're going to talk through Beijing and Tokyo, as well as major news, major headlines, all that stuff. So let's get going.

SPEAKER_2 (0:09)

Jack, John, Stevie and Sam got close a few times, never won a slam, nothing major.

Sam (0:15)

All right, welcome back. Got the three of us, John, Stevie, myself, Charlie Fox, the suits at SIFT. We're back, it's an exciting Monday. We've got some good tennis going on with the 500s. Before we start that though, as you guys saw in my video yesterday, I do have a scale here. I can weigh myself. If you'd like an update, remember, I'm trying to lose three and a half pounds so I can horseback ride next Friday.

John Isner (0:37)

All right, first things first, you got to strip down.

Sam (0:41)

I'm not going to strip down.

John Isner (0:43)

I mean, that's what the boxers do.

Sam (0:44)

They get just their underwear. Just the tighty-whities?

Steve Johnson (0:48)

Just the tighty-whities.

Sam (0:49)

That's it.

Steve Johnson (0:52)

I have the scale right here.

Sam (0:53)

I got to go off the screen for a second because I'm on a rug. But my wife just walked in to audit because she thinks I'm going to lie.

Steve Johnson (1:00)

Also, any shot you skipped in here last night?

Sam (1:03)

No, I was going to skip dinner and then Abby was making this really nice steak and salad and stuff.

Steve Johnson (1:08)

Your discipline is bulls-eared.

John Isner (1:08)

The way you go about losing weight is you're doing it wrong. Just skipping a meal that your body is going to start eating all your fat. That's not how you lose weight, by the way.

Don't give them good ideas, John.

Steve Johnson (1:21)

Don't tell them how to be healthy.

John Isner (1:22)

Don't eat carbs after five.

Sam (1:24)

I once fasted for three days and lost like 11 pounds.

Steve Johnson (1:26)

Then you put it all right back on.

John Isner (1:28)

But I'm saying like if you're like really, you know, you want to just have like no, no starchy carbs after five o'clock type of thing.

Steve Johnson (1:34)

No, I know that. I know that.

John Isner (1:34)

I'm gonna weigh myself. I'm gonna weigh myself.

Steve Johnson (1:36)

All right.

SPEAKER_2 (1:37)

Come right back.

Steve Johnson (1:40)

John, he gets the fact that he shouldn't be doing these things, but he's gonna do it anyway. You got to realize this. No, no, get back on. Why are you in here?

SPEAKER_2 (1:53)

Oh, oh, oh.

Steve Johnson (1:56)

Still too fat.

Sam (1:58)

Abby in here auditing, cause she thought I was gonna lie. 126.5, already shedded.

Steve Johnson (2:04)

You're 126 pounds?

Sam (2:05)

126.5.

Steve Johnson (2:07)

Wow, dude, that's 100 pounds in a week.

Sam (2:09)

Already shedded two pounds.

John Isner (2:12)

Yeah, but you gotta get under, you have another pound and a half to go, right?

Steve Johnson (2:16)

Yeah, another pound and a half. But I will say that's not a good sign for you, because you need another pound and a half. It's already been a week. You only got a week left, dude.

Sam (2:26)

I've done one run for 10 minutes.

Steve Johnson (2:28)

The chances of you getting ice cream like at 7.3 in the morning after this is pretty high.

Sam (2:33)

Nope, I don't do it anymore.

John Isner (2:34)

Hey, so you obviously, you do want to horseback ride, because obviously, you're doing it.

Steve Johnson (2:39)

I would like to horseback ride, yeah.

John Isner (2:40)

Are you opting out of the fly fishing because last year, you were the only person out of about 14 that did not catch a single fish?

Sam (2:47)

I know. No, I'm doing all three. This year, we have a nine-hour ranch day. I'm going to fly fish, horseback ride and skeet shoot.

Steve Johnson (2:53)

I think I'm going to pass on the horseback riding. I think I'm going to go back in on that. I think I'm out on the horseback.

Sam (2:57)

You guys are going to make me go alone?

John Isner (2:59)

I've disqualified myself.

Sam (3:01)

All right, let's talk tennis. Big week of a couple of 500s in Tokyo and Beijing. Let's start in Tokyo. As we know, the tennis schedule is ratchet. We're only, we're down to the finals right now, right? These are Monday finals in Tokyo. So we're up to the finals now. So we're going to cover that. But Carlos Alcaraz into the finals, he took out along the way. Remember a lot of these guys came right from Labor Cup. So Alcaraz took out Mikkelsen, then he took out Arnoldi, then Shapovalov and then Jaume Munar.
