Reigning double European mixed doubles champion, Gabby Adcock, is in perhaps the strangest moment of her career.
Gabby Adcock, along with her husband Chris, has been an iconic player on the world stage. Currently sitting at 13 in the world, they have been a consistent pair, fluctuating between ninth and thirteenth over the past decade.
Despite being the reigning European champions, compatriots Marcus Ellis and Lauren Smith have crept passed them in the rankings.

Discussing this tough topic, Gabby Adcock says.
