About this episode

The hosts recap the chaotic first round of the 2026 Roland Garros and make predictions for the second round, featuring guest Genie Bouchard.

Something Major is officially back. John, Sam, and Steve return from Paris to break down a chaotic opening round at Roland-Garros: surprise exits, brutal heat, questionable scheduling, and a few retirement-era feelings creeping in. Paris also says goodbye to Stan Wawrinka and hometown hero Gaël Monfils, who may have given the fans one last classic five-set battle. The guys revisit Medvedev’s latest clay-court disaster, while somehow Sam still thinks he’s got a chance against Sinner. They also break down Basavareddy’s fearless drop-shot clinic against Fritz and Casper Ruud surviving heat issues, a fourth-set bagel, and still finding a way through in five. On the women’s side, most top seeds handled business before Genie Bouchard joins the show to break down the draw and make her pick for the title... a pretty popular one! Plus, things get predictably sidetracked with heat complaints, stomach issues, and Sam accidentally eating 30 multivitamins because he thought they were gummy candy... just another completely "normal" pod episode! 00:00 Something Major is BACK! 01:54 Stan / Monfils Last Dances 04:50 Court Placement Debate 06:21 Monfils Sendoff 07:56 Record Heat at Roland-Garros…
