About this episode
As the year winds down, Jack, John, Stevie, and Sam take a look back at the 2024 tennis season. The gang kicks off the show reflecting on the year's biggest storylines, from Jannik Sinner’s historic 73-6 season and Djokovic’s Golden Slam-less year to Zverev’s climb to No. 2. How does Sinner's dominance compare to the all-time greats? Is Djokovic content with Olympic Gold but no majors? And how will Carlos Alcaraz rate his two-Slam season? The boys then dive into the season's most memorable moments submitted by the audience before wrapping up by discussing the players who said goodbye to tennis in 2024 including Rafa Nadal, Andy Murray, and Dominic Thiem. But not before things get heated in true Nothing Major style when the gang notices an embarrassing omission from the retirement list ...
