Nothing Major

The Aussie Open is heating up, and so is Something Major! We keep our attention on the men's side of the draw where we break down the stand out performances and surprises in Round 2 as well as preview the biggest stories heading into Round 3. The boys also touch on the American men having success down under from Taylor Fritz’s dominant start to Learner Tien’s breakout performance against Medvedev.

Finally, a new leader emerges in our Nothing Major Snake Draft and the guys discuss a fan submitted penalty. Could we see one of our hosts lace them up again for a $25k Future Tournament?
