On this Thursday episode of Nothing Major, John Isner, Sam Querrey, and Stevie Johnson recap the latest from the Shanghai Masters, including Rafael Jodar’s win and his towel outburst toward ball kids.

They also cover Zverev’s dominant win over Alex de Minaur as they discuss Zverev’s durability and year-end No. 1 form. As well as preview the other quarter-finals, debate Tommy’s new beard, and discuss Casper Ruud’s quiet run ahead of his matchup with Jodar.

The show also features a new segment on players who “don’t look like tennis players,” and they bring on US Open men’s bracket winner Andrew “The Oracle” Lee, who gives us one of our greatest and funniest interviews in show history.
