2025 Australian Open Preview, Meeting Federer and Sam’s Nip Slip | EP 25

The 2025 Australian Open is officially here and the boys have plenty to talk about in this week's episode!

The guys kick off with insights on player perks and experience in Melbourne before diving into the main storylines heading into this year’s tournament.

They then move onto a Nothing Major staple - the snake draft. Each guy drafts their own team for the 2025 Australian Open before wrapping with personal memories from the AO. From going 5 sets with a furious Nalbandian, to blowing their stipends in the local casino, John, Sam and Steve share some of their best and worst times down under.
