Nothing Major

About
The US Open semis were electric, and we’re here to break it all down before the finals. John, Stevie, and Jack dive into the women’s battles, highlighting Anisimova’s redemption as she took down Osaka in an amazing match and now faces Sabalenka. How far can Amanda go if she wins? 



On the men’s side, we discuss whether this could be Djokovic’s last shot, the Alcaraz-Sinner dominance, and our thoughts on the men’s final. Is Sinner a slight favorite with the No. 1 ranking and Slam race on the line?



Things got even spicier with our Dave’s Hot Chicken trivia challenge. Who can handle the Reaper without breaking a sweat? Between group chat meltdowns and ridiculous hot takes, this episode got out of hand fast. 



We wrap things up with Steve calling a recall on our bracket challenge... let’s just say some egos are hurting as a the loser will need to come up with a Nothing Major jingle!
