Advantage Connors

Show Notes

Jimmy and Brett are joined once again by friend and tennis connoisseur Spencer Segura to break down all things US Open after attending the final weekend.

Carlos Alcaraz has been amazing since Monte Carlo and continued his hot play in Flushing the past two weeks. He has now won 7 or the last 8 matches against Sinner and won his 6th major at just 22 years old.

Djokovic is still the third best player in the world, he just can't beat Sinner and Alcaraz.

Sabalenka was on a mission to win a slam after coming so close in the first 3 majors of the year. Beating 2 straight Americans to do so.

Amanda Anisimova bounced back after her heartbreaking loss at Wimbledon. She has the game to win a major, and now has the experience to build on.
