Jack, John, Sam, and Stevie dive back into the Major Mailbag to answer some of your best questions. The crew ranks the nine Masters 1000 events from best to worst and offers an insight into how tennis racket and clothing sponsorships really work. Plus, they tackle their toughest question yet: which streak of dominance is more impressive—Rafael Nadal on clay or Steve Johnson in college?
