Who would dare step into the shoes of Gail Emms? Jenny Wallwork has fearlessly done just just and the lively 23-year-old from Bolton and Nathan Robertson are now emerging into a badminton partnership feared across the globe.
Since Emms hung up her racquet after the Beijing Olympics two years ago, England's new pairing have won European bronzes, become national champions and broken into the world's top 15.
"I've gone from a short blonde to a tall brunette," declared Robertson, who is now looking to defend the Commonwealth title he won in 2006.
This year's been a little patchy but the pressure's now on as they arrive in Delhi as top seeds. Can they deliver?
