Aussie Open update, Collins talks smack, Draper survives, Medvedev upset
We check in on the Australian Open on the latest episode of the Advantage Connors Podcast.
Medvedev, Rublev, and Tsitsipas all went out in the first week of the AO. With the emergence of so many good young players are the opportunities in slams running out?
Jack Draper went 5 sets in his first 3 rounds down under, will he have anything left for his match with Carlos Alcaraz? What experience can he take from gutting out so many long grueling matches?
Friend of the pod Danielle Collins stirred up the Aussie crowds with her 2nd round win over local favorite Destanee Aiava.

Osaka back in a final, Gauff beats Swiatek again, Aussie Open preview, Matsuyama goes low
Kicking off season 6 with a bang as we head down under to preview the 2025 Australian Open. We look at the odds for the favorites to win on both the men's and women's side.
Naomi Osaka was forced to retire up a set in the finals of Auckland on Sunday, but Jimmy is optimistic about her comeback to the game. Can she return to her major winning ways in 2025?
Coco Gauff defeated Iga Swiatek and helped propel team USA to a win at the United Cup last week. That's 2 wins in a row for Gauff against Swiatek who had dominated their head to head up to that point, what has Coco figured out?
Alexander Bublik made some comments this week about the "circus" surrounding Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal's retirements.
Hideki Matsuyama broke the PGA record for lowest score ever in an event by posting -35 to win The Sentry in Kapalua over the weekend. Could this mean a 2nd green jacket could be in order later this year at the Masters for the Japanese player?
Plus we answer some of your questions as we kickoff season 6 of the Advantage Connors podcast!
