Felix Cramps, Evaluating Medvedev, Zverev takes Diallo & ESPN Streaming | Australian Open 2026

It's the Australian Open 2026 First Round Show with Gill Gross. We start by addressing ESPN's price hike on American tennis fans. Then, we'll talk about Felix Auger-Aliassime's retirement loss against Nuno Borges, how Daniil Medvedev's game looks different for better or worse, Alexander Zverev's survival of a tough draw in Gabriel Diallo, 2X NCAA Champion Michael Zheng upsetting Sebastian Korda, Frances Tiafoe's productive-sounding offseason, Alexandra Eala's Court 6 atmosphere, and more! CORRECTION: Kostyuk made a final run in Adelaide, not a title run.
