2024 ATP Week 3-4 - Australian Open (Draw Talk/Futures and R1 Matches on Day 1-2)

In this mega pod, we get ready for the Australian Open! First, we do a brief recap of the first two weeks of the season at the United Cup/Brisbane/Hong Kong/Adelaide/Auckland. Then, we talk about the draw in depth and go over the futures markets. We are then joined by special guest Jon Reid (aka @tidbitstennis) to discuss the multitude of betting lines for the first two days of 1st round matches Down Under. Sorry for the abrupt transitions and the quick discussion at the end of the episode - we were in a rush since Manny had to get to work. Also, apologies for the raspy and tired sounding voices in the beginning of the show as we recorded this at 5 AM ET. As always, thanks for listening! Here are a few of our favorite plays: Manny - Etcheverry ML vs. Murray (+120), Sinner vs. Rublev to meet in QFs (+600) Brad - Shelton -4.5 games vs. Bautista Agut (-110), Tiafoe -3.0 games vs. Coric (-110) Jon - Marterer ML vs. Borges (-140), Watanuki ML vs. Kecmanovic (+210) Please listen to the show for the logic. If you have any questions and/or feedback, please feel free to DM us or join us on the "TennisIsLife" Discord!
