208: US Open Wildcard Jack Kennedy Joins! Alcaraz Favourite? Eala Mania Hits NYC | EP 208

Tune in Tuesday for the start of Something Major!

On this episode of Nothing Major, the guys sit down with junior standout Jack Kennedy, the Kalamazoo boys’ 18s champion who earned a wild card into the 2026 US Open, his pro run including a win over Kei Nishikori, and making his first Slam main draw in his New York backyard. They also hit on his UVA commitment, postponing college until January to play more pro events, and his push for the Next Gen Finals.

Plus, the guys dive deep into their US Open preview, breaking down Djokovic’s chances, Alcaraz’s star power and the players who could make a run in New York, before tackling an unpredictable women’s draw. They also break down IBM’s new “serve quality” tracking, shout out Tennis Warehouse, and bring back the Singapore job saga for another chaotic twist.
