BOT 95: Australian Open Preview
Here we are fam! We are about to embark on another Australian Open, and we couldn't be more excited! No one truly knew what was ahead of us after last year's AO, so to say that we're here on the precipice of kicking off another one that's kiiiiind of on schedule, and the majority of the players are going to be "in it to win it," is a small miracle to say the least. As tradition would have it, the Bruthas have gotten together once again to walk through all of the draws, and give you their picks for the Slam. As evidenced by their fire and spirit, they're going to be super keyed-up for this upcoming fortnight, and we're sure you will be too after giving this chat a listen. Enjoy! -
