Nothing Major - A podcast by Sift Creative

The quarterfinals in New York brought plenty of fireworks, and we’re breaking it all down before looking ahead to the semifinals. Novak Djokovic was clinical against Taylor Fritz and now sets up a blockbuster clash with Carlos Alcaraz. Is Novak the greatest athlete of all time? We debate it. Jannik Sinner’s dominance rolls on as he heads into a big showdown with Felix Auger-Aliassime, but does Felix really have a chance? On the women’s side, Jessica Pegula’s steady run keeps her in the spotlight, while Amanda Anisimova pulled off sweet redemption against Iga Swiatek. Could we be on track for an all-American final? We dive into the possibilities and what it would mean for the tournament. Off the court, there’s bracket drama, group chat chaos, and some questionable takes, from whether Fritz’s headband was a mistake to the rising La Bubbus trend. 00:00 We're back! 01:08 Semi-Finals Preview and Quarterfinals Recap 02:21 Group Chat Confusion 05:00 Novak Djokovic's Performance So Far 12:22 Alcaraz vs. Djokovic Preview 16:23 Sinner's Dominance and Upcoming Match 19:59 Felix vs. Sinner 20:07 Men's Semifinals Preview 21:24 Women's Semifinals: American Hopes 22:09 Pegula's Path to Victory 25:15 Amanda Anisimova's Redemption 27:49 Osaka's Comeback 32:43 Bracket Challenge Drama and Goodbye!
