Go to https://kachava.com and use code NOTHINGMAJOR for 15% off your first order. On this episode of Nothing Major, Sam, John, and Stevie tackle the hottest topic in tennis: John Isner eating on the podcast. Then they get into the biggest story of the week: Serena Williams is back. Serena’s return to doubles at Queen’s sparks a debate about whether she could make a real singles comeback—and whether anyone should count her out. The guys also break down Ben Shelton’s clutch title run in Stuttgart, Kamil Majchrzak’s shocking grass-court breakthrough in ’s-Hertogenbosch, and Donna Vekic’s Queen’s Club title as a lucky loser (plus a quick lesson on how lucky losers actually work). Plus: Wimbledon prize money, Carlos Alcaraz’s wrist checkup, and rumblings of a US Open mixed doubles boycott. 00:00 Intro 00:22 The Chewing Controversy 02:51 Stuttgart Shelton’s Grass Breakthrough 07:53 Fritz vs Drop Shot Problem 10:36 Den Bosch Name Chaos 11:19 Majchrzak Shocks the Top 10 15:59 Queen’s WTA Vekic Lucky Loser Run 22:33 Major News Serena Doubles Comeback 24:51 Grass Injury Woes 24:58 Fixing Slippery Courts 25:56 Serena Wimbledon Talk 27:20 Mixed Doubles Boycott Buzz 29:39 Wimbledon Prize Money 30:15 Alcaraz Wrist Update 33:57 Stevie Stats Grass Kings 35:00 Servebot Shelton Edition 35:53 World Cup Detour 37:12 Shelton’s Free Cars 39:00 Queens vs Halle Fields 42:17 Berlin Stacked Draw 43:15 Wrap Up
