On this episode of Nothing Major, John Isner, Sam Querrey, and Stevie Johnson recap last week’s ATP 500s in Vienna and Basel, starting with Carlos Alcaraz’s wild-card run to the Vienna title and the debate over whether he’s playing like the world’s best despite Zverev holding No. 1. They also break down the ATP 500 bonus pool payouts and touch on de Minaur’s upset of Zverev. 

In Basel, the guys react to a surprise final and Vacherots indoor-court breakthrough, plus Holger Rune’s encouraging return from an Achilles injury. Then it’s on to the razor-tight Race to Turin, before the big news: Juan Carlos Ferrero joining Ben Shelton’s coaching team alongside Brian Shelton, and what it could mean for Ben’s next step. Before waving farewell to the legend Stan Wawrinka.
