Summary
Thank you to Tennis Channel for the use of the Paris footage. From the green room, Sam & John join Stevie as he kicks off the show with his take on a "Lefkoe style" opener. The crew recaps a dramatic set of Roland-Garros quarterfinals, led by impressive runs from Alexander Zverev, Jakub Mensik, and Cobolli. They break down the biggest performances, debate who has the edge heading into the semifinals, and discuss what's stood out most from the second week in Paris. On the women’s side, they react to Sabalenka’s title hopes coming to an abrupt end and Shnaider’s continued rise. Plus, semifinal predictions and an update on the Nothing Major bracket standings. https://bracket.nothingmajorshow.com/nothingmajor 00:00 French Open Stakes 00:51 Cold Open Roast 01:36 Rating the Monologue 03:22 Show Intro and Banter 04:17 Quarterfinals Setup 05:00 Mensik Beats Fonseca 08:54 Zverev Rolls Jodar 11:38 Cobolli Upsets Felix 16:28 DMV Celebrity Tangent 17:09 Women Quarterfinal Shock 18:31 Windy Match Debate 19:44 Semifinal Surprise Run 20:42 Hermes Bag Detour 21:27 Kostyuk Streak Talk 23:03 Semifinals Set Recap 24:14 Men Semifinal Picks 27:09 Women Semifinal Picks 28:19 Guest Plans Bracket Drama 29:53 Wrap Up Thanks
