Gabe better than Ge because he can also raise Ben’s emotional level. Caveat being that both Ben and Gabe are prone to absorbing partner energy.

Ok here our my thoughts, lmk if you agree or not. Collin: if he separates from Ben Johns he's either gonna have to starting training to be aggressive or get another teammate that's aggressive to replace Ben, either way Collin needs to step it up with his pace. Ben Johns: We all know Ben is a pretty chill guy when playing and is very good at having a mental game and staying focused. Ben is most likely going to pick someone with that same mentality that is agressive like Augie, or possibly Gabe, however, I believe Augie has the best attitude out of most pros and that might benefit Ben in his game and the team chemistry. However, Augie is a great player he will need to step it up to compete at the highest level. I believe Ben wont stick with someone for 2025, I think he will try with a lot of different people to see what is working best as the game progresses. Once he finds his best match then we might continue to see more of that partnership. Let me know if you all agree

Look at andre daescu for example he is a big dude that plays a big left and gabe often is competing with him for balls in the middle and they were very very strong this year being imo the fourth strongest pairing behind the johns brother, jw and dylan, and fed and hayden. Gabe however doesnt find as much success when playing a big right with a smaller left like with hayden, they are for sure a great time but on paper they should see so much more success than they did because hayden doesnt play a big enough left for Gabe. Ben plays the biggest left side right now in mens doubles but in a very consistent way that I think would gel with gabe better than a comparable left side player but who’s more erratic like christian
