Serena's Wimbledon Wildcard, Alex Eala Mania Returns & Tiafoe Triumphs | EP 187

**John Isner** (0:00)
Welcome back to Nothing Major, everyone. It was a big week on tour. We're going to review all of the results that just happened. Of course, we're going to preview the big W coming up. And also, there was some pretty big news heard around the tennis world that we're gonna talk about. So let's get the show started.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:17)
Jack, John, Stevie and Sam got close a few times, never won a slam, Nothing Major.

**John Isner** (0:23)
All right, welcome back to Nothing Major, everyone. John Isner here with of course, Sam Querrey, Stevie Johnson, Charlie Fox and the team, as everyone knows, at SIFT Creative. Before we dig in to all that happened last week and of course, there was a lot that went on. We're trying to get in touch with our Roland Garros bracket winner. And he's ghosting us, the time traveler himself, Ryan Mazada.
He's yet to respond to our emails. I mean, who doesn't want to come on the show, right? I mean, like he gets two grand from Tennis Warehouse. He's not responding to anything. So I'm actually starting to think that he might truly be a time traveler because he can't reveal himself now.

**Sam Querrey** (1:08)
Maybe we put a deadline on it. If we don't hear from him in a month, we give that two grand to like the second place winner.

**John Isner** (1:14)
Oh, I'm sure whoever finished second would like that. So Ryan Mazada, if you are listening to this episode, episode 187, by the way, dude, respond to your emails or like send a message on one of our social feeds.

**Stevie Johnson** (1:31)
Send up the bat signal. We need it.

**John Isner** (1:33)
The bat signal.

**Stevie Johnson** (1:34)
Exactly. Sam Querrey is going to take your $2,000 by sundown Monday of next week. So better get to it.

**John Isner** (1:41)
He absolutely will. So Ryan, try to get in touch with us. That's two grand of credit from our friends at Tennis Warehouse. That's a huge result. And you also, you actually should get more than two grand. You get 200 grand for calling Zverev over Caboli in the final. But you're not.
Just absurd. We want to talk to you. And also before we, hold on. Next order of business, Sam, is what is Stevie going to do now that he lost? He's just conveniently not talking about this.

**Stevie Johnson** (2:10)
Honestly, I have forgotten about that.

**Sam Querrey** (2:12)
We need to come up with something. Of course you have. No fan has given us a good idea.

**John Isner** (2:16)
So we're coming up with something that's got to be embarrassing. I mean, Sam's got to rock a leopard print. He did a jingle and he's got to rock a leopard print outfit.

**Sam Querrey** (2:23)
I re-recorded a jingle, by the way.

**John Isner** (2:25)
I heard that.

**Stevie Johnson** (2:25)
That is true.
Yeah, I'm all for it. I honestly forgot about it. It's been a lackluster week of sleep for your boy over here in the Los Angeles area, just early calls at Tennis Channel and late nights, but I'm in. We could do it. We got a couple of trips in the summer. We could do it together. It's fine.

**John Isner** (2:42)
Do it together?

**Stevie Johnson** (2:42)
I know I'm saying like, while we are together, I'm not going to make you guys do it. Okay, okay. You guys don't want to just have it like, you're not there, that's no fun.

**John Isner** (2:50)
Well, it could be. We're coming up with something super embarrassing. Yeah. I'm full of confidence here. I don't feel like I'm ever going to lose again.
All right, let's get into our first segment. Winner segment.

**Sam Querrey** (3:02)
I have my hand raised in the chat. I have, I need like two minutes.

**Stevie Johnson** (3:04)
Oh, sorry, dude. Sorry. We're disregarding your hand raise.

**John Isner** (3:06)
My bad, my bad.

**Sam Querrey** (3:07)
You see our numbers last week on YouTube?

**John Isner** (3:09)
No.

**Stevie Johnson** (3:09)
I did not.

**Sam Querrey** (3:10)
We had bad numbers last week. I don't.
Is that just a weird week in the schedule?

**Stevie Johnson** (3:15)
Yeah.

**John Isner** (3:15)
You're talking about both episodes?

**Sam Querrey** (3:17)
Both episodes, some of our worst numbers, I'm chalking it up to like this weird.

**John Isner** (3:23)
But our social, we had some great social.

**Sam Querrey** (3:25)
Social was good. YouTube numbers were bad. It's like losing first round of a 250 to Shevchenko or something. It was just like we couldn't.

**John Isner** (3:35)
Huh.

**Stevie Johnson** (3:35)
It's the first week after a slam, but there's got to be like a dip in the tennis world.
