Both playing with different partners in Metz next week: Jonny with Jamie Murray & Colin with Michael Venus.
They wouldn't have got in together as their combined rank wasn't good enough.
I do feel for Colin this season as to say that the situation with Ross has clearly been less than ideal for him would be a massive understatement.
Whether Colin and Jonny feel it is worth another go as a partnership is clearly up to the two of them but I certainly think they could both do with the stability that has been lacking this season. They might not have set the world alight as a pair but they did much better than either of them have done this year. If they do decide to go down that road I think another 3 or 4 challengers before the end of the season would be a very good idea, primarily to boost their ranking and secondly to get some wins under their belts.
I really hope the partnership with Jonny works out, but as some have commented, when they played together last year, the "chemistry" just didn't seem to work.
As an alternative, I wonder if Colin woud consider teaming up with Dom, now that it seems his partnership with Treat has come to an end. Dom definitely seems like a "leader" on court and from what I have read and heard, that is the sort of partner that Colin prefers.
The only time I can remember them playing together was in DC in the USA last year and they took a set off the Bryans, if memory serves.

Al I can recollect about that match was that Dom was a bundle of nerves it being his DC debut.
