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!
