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.
