About this episode
This week, the guys go full clay-mode with some hard truths about life on the dirt. They draft their current top clay-court players, revisit the narrative that Americans can’t hang on the surface, and share some painfully honest personal stories - including Steve Johnson’s worst-ever loss on clay winning two games in a five set match. The boys then turn to the Nothing Major mailbag and give insight into life on the ATP Tour, including how coaches are compensated and laundry disasters on the road. 00:00 - Intro: Mailbag, Clay Draft, and Clay Court Losses 00:30 - Jack Sock Still in Vietnam 01:00 - Tennis and Clinics with Sam, John, and Steve 03:00 - Clay Court Snake Draft Begins 06:00 - Draft Recap and Bad Clay Court Team for Jack Sock 09:00 - Steve Johnson’s Worst Clay Court Losses 13:00 - French Open Horror Stories 16:00 - Fan Mailbag: How Are Coaches Paid? 20:00 - Tennis Laundry Stories and Roger Federer Mystique 23:30 - Does Djokovic Have a Slam Chance in 2024? 25:50 - Tournament Hotel and Coach Expense Stories 30:00 - Tips for Submitting Mailbag Questions 30:40 - Fan Roast: German Indoor Tennis Court Vibes Hosted on Acast.
