20: James Blake Joins the Pod, ATP Awards and a Nightmare Vegas Trip | EP 20

The Nothing Major boys welcome former World No. 4 and fellow American, James Blake!

James dishes on his best pranks at the expense of our hosts, his time as John Isner’s landlord, and reveals who was the most challenging to deal with as a Tournament Director. Plus, he shares the one point he’d replay from his entire career if given the chance.

With the tennis season wrapping up, Sam, Stevie, John, and Jack review the ATP Tour award nominees and cast their votes. We wrap the episode with Part 2 of the Vegas Party Crew draft, where the boys debate the absolute worst tennis players to bring on a Vegas trip.
