Kiwi doubles players Marcus Daniell and Artem Sitak return to ATP world tour action in Marrakech, Morocco overnight.
Daniell had a week off after the Miami Open, training with his British doubles partner Dominic Inglot at his base in Barcelona.
The world number 35 has no points to defend this
week after losing in the first round in Marrakech last year. Daniell and Inglot are seeded 3rd and take on the Chilean Belarussian duo of Hans Podlipnik-Castillo and Andrei Vasilevski in the first round.
"It's been a good transition from the hard court to clay," Daniell said. "We had a great week in Barcelona, one of the homes of clay courts around the world and spent a lot of time hitting a lot of balls."
"We have played our opponents twice before, in our first tournament in Basel last year and also in the third round of the Australian Open. They are a dangerous team and their game suits playing on the clay. But in saying that Dom plays well here in Marrakech and is defending the title here from last year."
