A clue might (might!) be available if you watch a recording of the interviews that were broadcast before the Manchester 'Masters' tournament a while ago. Anthony, Nathan, Robert, Gail, Natalie and Donna were all asked what they thought about their partner. Five people managed to sound entirely genuine when singing the praises of their partners. One person, however, responded with a poorly concealed look of contempt and said something along the lines of "She's got an alright serve I suppose."

Losing to ex-partner Munt in the Nationals must have been the final straw.

Perhaps it is Blair who is the weakest link and not his partner.
They all seem to do well without him :rolleyes:

The other odd thing is Andrew Bowman playing with Kristian Roebuck in the men's doubles.

Sure it has been rumoured that Rob tried to pinch Gail from Nathan and didn't get his way.
Will be very intersting to see if he plays the odd tournament with a "scratch" foreign entry.

Similar things have been heard over here chosen one, and an insider said that if rob was playing with gail that results would not be any worse!
Are there any ladies in the uk suitable for rob if neither jenny or nat are?

Apparently Tonks is playing with Emma Mason, another odd one there for your Markymark.
