Join us from next Tuesday for Something Major Wimbledon, with episodes releasing every other day!
On this episode of Nothing Major, Sam, John, and Stevie get ready for a packed Wimbledon stretch and react to the biggest story of the week: Marketa Vondrousova’s four-year ban after refusing a drug test. The guys break down the whereabouts system, discuss how it works in practice and explain why they feel the punishment is way too harsh.
Then they’re joined by former British No. 1 Kyle Edmund to talk about building his game around his forehand, his run to the 2018 Australian Open semifinals, the challenges of moving on grass and what makes Wimbledon feel so different from Queen’s.
Plus, the guys get nostalgic about their favorite Wimbledon traditions, debate seeds and wildcards, including Nick Kyrgios, make some early picks and close things out with a review thanks to our partners at Tennis Warehouse.
