    Sam Querrey and John Isner open from Paris after the Roland-Garros semifinals. They recap the first men’s semifinal that never happened after Matteo Arnaldi pulled out with an illness minutes before playing Cobolli, likely worsened by Arnaldi’s heavy time on court. 
    They then discuss Alexander Zverev beating Jakub Menšík, crediting Zverev’s high first-serve percentage and baseline control, and preview the final with the guys having Zverev as the clear favorite despite slow starts. 
    Plus they cover the women’s semis: Maya Chwalinska’s dream run continues after defeating Diana Shnaider with crafty variety and Mirra Andreeva routing Marta Kostyuk comfortably to set up an Andreeva vs Chwalinska final.

    John, Sam, Stevie, and special guest Caroline Wozniacki react to one of the biggest matches of the year as João Fonseca takes down Novak Djokovic in a five set thriller at Roland Garros.

    Meanwhile, Casper Ruud survives Tommy Paul in another five setter, Zverev suddenly finds himself carrying favorite pressure, and the guys debate who’s left standing in a draw that has completely exploded over the past few days.
    On the women’s side, Coco Gauff crashes out against Potapova, Iga Swiątek starts looking like vintage Iga again, and the crew closes with Round of 16 predictions, and one final argument over whether they could score a penalty kick against a Champions League goalkeeper.

    178: 2026 Roland Garros Round 2 Recap, Sinner's SHOCKING Loss | Something Major | EP 178

    2026/05/28 | 30 mins.
    John, Sam, Stevie, and special guest Caroline Wozniacki react to one of the biggest upsets EVER at a Major, as Jannik Sinner completely collapses from 6-3, 6-2, 5-1 up against Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the Paris heat. 
    The boys debate the controversial mid match timeout and whether heat might genuinely be Sinner’s biggest weakness, leading to a full discussion on genetics, body cooling, acclimation, and what he may need to change long term to survive brutal Slam conditions.
    Elsewhere at French Open, Frances Tiafoe survives Hubert Hurkacz in five and celebrates by ripping the shirt off, Moise Kouame turns Lenglen into complete chaos, and Jakub Menšík wins a 13-11 fifth set breaker while cramping so badly he leaves the court in a wheelchair. 
    Plus: João Fonseca’s comeback, Novak Djokovic keeping the “25” dream alive, and the Alejandro Davidovich Fokina coaching split becoming the messiest storyline in Paris.
    On the women’s side, Elena Rybakina suffers the biggest upset of Round 2, Serena Williams comeback rumors start flying again, and the crew closes with Round 3 predictions, bracket standings, and a looming punishment for whoever finishes last.
