New Zealand tennis player Marcus Daniell has continued his good doubles form.

Daniell and partner Marcelo Demoliner have won the ATP Challenger tournament in Dallas Texas.

They've beaten the top seeded Austrian/French combination 6-3, 6-4.

The win will see Daniell reach a career high 42 in the rankings, just three behind compatriot Michael Venus.

Daniell will now head to Miami where he will team up with Venus with a long shot chance of playing the lucrative Miami Masters.
