They were beaten in a first-round match tie-break byNadiia KichenokandMarcel Granollers.
Sitak and Koolhof then went to Newport Beach in California where, as top seeds, they lost in the first round, 2–6, 1–6, toTreat HueyandDenis Kudla.After that came theDavis Cupwhere, inTianjin,Sitak andMarcus Danielllost their doubles tie to the lowly-ranked Chinese pair ofGong Mao-XinandZhang Ze.Sitak and Koolhof then lost in the quarter-finals atMontpellierbefore going all the way to the final in theNew York Open,being beaten byMax MirnyiandPhilipp Oswaldin a match tie-break.

AtRoland Garros,Sitak and Koolhof beatAndre BegemannandAntonio Šančićin the first round, then the ninth seedsIvan DodigandRajeev Ram,before going down to fifth seedsJuan Sebastián CabalandRobert Farah.All three matches went to a deciding set. After the tournament finished it was announced that the pair would split, with Koolhof joining Sitak's fellow New Zealander, and former partner,Marcus Daniell,and Sitak linking up with IndianDivij Sharan.[5]
Sitak and Sharan's first tournament together was at's-Hertogenbosch,where they were beaten in the semi-finals byMichael VenusandRaven Klaasen.They then lost in a big upset in the first round of qualifying atHalle,before finding top seedsCabalandFarahtheir nemesis in the first round atEastbourne.
They reached the quarter-finals atWimbledon,the best-ever result in a Grand Slam tournament for either of them. They had to come from two sets down in both their second and third round matches, againstJulio PeraltaandHoracio ZeballosandMarcin MatkowskiandJonathan Erlichrespectively, before lining up againstMike BryanandJack Sockin the quarter-finals. There were three tie-break sets to start, and just one loss of serve in the fourth set was enough to seal their defeat at the hands of the eventual champions. In mixed doubles, Sitak teamed up with UkrainianLyudmyla Kichenokto beat Argentina'sLeonardo MayerandMaría Irigoyen,but he withdrew from the second round due to fatigue from the length of the men's doubles matches.
Sitak teamed up with Erlich for theHall of Fame ChampionshipsinNewport,marching imperiously to the final, where they very quickly swept aside clay-court specialistsMarcelo ArévaloandMiguel Ángel Reyes-Varela.Sitak maintained that it was their experience which counted – it was the 39th ATP final for Erlich, and the 11th for Sitak, but just the first for both their opponents.
Moving on to Washington, D.C. for theCiti Open,Sitak and Sharan beatJamie CerretaniandLeander Paesin the first round before losing toJamie MurrayandBruno Soaresin the quarter-finals.

In the first round they were drawn againstIvan DodigandRobin Haase,and lost in a match tie-break.
In his last tournament before the US Open, Sitak teamed up withAisam-ul-Haq QureshiatWinston-Salem.They beatMax MirnyiandPhilipp Oswald,thenMarcelo DemolinerandSantiago González,before falling toJamie CerretaniandLeander Paesin the semi-final. In theUS Open,Sitak and Sharan lost to eventual runners-upŁukasz KubotandMarcelo Meloin the second round, while Sitak andLyudmyla Kichenokwere beaten in a tight first round battle in themixed doubles,losing 10–8 in the match tie-break to fourth seedsLatisha ChanandIvan Dodig.
The US Open was followed by New Zealand'sDavis Cuptie against Korea inGimcheon,where Sitak and debutantAjeet Raiwere successful in their doubles rubber. However, New Zealand lost the tie 3–2, and were relegated to Group II of the Asia/Oceania zone for the first time in five years. Dashing back to France for what turned out to be just one match, Sitak, again with Qureshi, lost in the first round atMetztoOliver MarachandJürgen Melzer.Reunited with Sharan a week later in China, they were upset in the first round of theChengdu OpenbyAustin KrajicekandJeevan Nedunchezhiyan.
In the Japan Open they drewJamie MurrayandBruno Soaresin the first round, and lost in straight sets, and then were able to get into theShanghai Mastersas an alternate entry, where they lost in the second round to Kubot and Melo, who went on to win the title. Their next event was theEuropean Openin Antwerp where, as fourth seeds, they lost to second seedsNicolas MahutandÉdouard Roger-Vasselinin an entertaining semi-final.
From there they travelled toBaselfor theSwiss Indoors Open,where they lost in an upset result in the semi-finals toMischaandAlexander Zverev.They finished their season at theParis Masterswhere, with only an hour's notice, they again took the court as an alternate. They beatFelicianoandMarc Lópezin the first round, but lost in straight sets in the second round to the best team in the world for 2018,Mike BryanandJack Sock.
2019[edit]
With a new partner in the left-handed AmericanAustin Krajicek,Sitak began 2019 inBrisbane,where they lost in the quarter-finals toRajeev RamandJoe Salisbury.They also lost in the quarter-finals inAuckland,this time toBobandMike Bryan,the former playing his first tournament since being injured in Monte Carlo and subsequently having surgery to replace his hip.
TheAustralian Openalso saw them record a win and a loss, beatingLeander PaesandMiguel Ángel Reyes-Varelain the first round, but losing a tight match to eventual semi-finalistsRyan HarrisonandSam Querreyin the second, 6–4, 7–6(5).Sitak had another new partner in the mixed doubles, teaming up with former World doubles number oneEkaterina Makarova.Seeded eighth, they lost in the first round toAndreja KlepačandÉdouard Roger-Vasselin.
Sitak and Krajicek then lost in the first round atMontpellierbefore going toRotterdam,where they got into the main draw as Lucky Losers, but again lost in the first round. The same fate awaited them inRio de Janeiro,but they had far better luck inAcapulco,where they finished runners-up toMischaandAlexander Zverevafter easily taking the first set of the final. It was the first ATP500 series final for both Sitak and Krajicek.
Because of their relative rankings, Sitak found a new partner forIndian Wellsin singles specialistNikoloz Basilashvili,but they went out in the first round to eighth seedsHenri KontinenandJohn Peers.That meant that he and Krajicek were able to go straight toPhoenix,where they had walk-overs in the first two rounds of thePhoenix Challenger,beatJamie CerretaniandNicholas Monroein the semi-finals, and lost toJamie MurrayandNeal Skupskiin the final.
From there they went toMiami,where they lost in the first round, and on toHoustonfor theUS Clay Court Championships,where they lost to the Skupski brothers in the semi-finals. That was followed by a loss in qualifying inBarcelonaand a quarter-final loss inMunichbefore a first round loss inMadrid,where they had got in as an alternate pair.
They also got into theItalian Openas an alternate pair, and this time made it to the second round, losing to eventual championsJuan Sebastián CabalandRobert Farah.Another first round loss, this time as second seeds inGeneva,preceded their attempt at theFrench Open,where Krajicek dropped a bombshell just a couple of days before their first round match by announcing that he would be ending their partnership after this tournament.[6]Seeded 16th, the pair didn't have a single practice together before losing in the first round toHsieh Cheng-pengandChristopher Rungkat.He andMakoto Ninomiyaplayedmixed doublestogether, but lost in a first round match tie-break to eventual semi-finalistsNadiia KichenokandAisam-ul-Haq Qureshi.
Sitak had different partners for each of his first three grass tournaments before winning theAntalya OpenwithJonathan Erlichin a week where the on-court temperatures seldom dropped below 40 degrees Celsius. They defeatedIvan DodigandFilip Polášekin straight sets in the final, having beaten French Open championsKevin KrawietzandAndreas Miesin the first round. AtWimbledonSitak and Erlich lost in the first round toMáximo GonzálezandHoracio Zeballos,but Sitak went much further in themixed doubles.
Although he andLaura Siegemundmade it to the quarter-finals before losing to fifth seedsKvěta PeschkeandWesley Koolhof,it's their first round match againstDarija JurakandKen Skupskiwhich will go down in history, the sprinklers facing Sitak and Siegemund bursting into life as they sat down with the score at 4–3 in the final set.[7]The match was eventually moved to another court to be finished. As if that wasn't enough, their top quality third round match against third seedsGabriela DabrowskiandMate Pavićtook three hours and 17 minutes, becoming the first mixed doubles match to require Wimbledon's innovation of a tie-break at 12–12 in the final set.
Sitak and Erlich were unable to defend their title inNewport,losing in the first round, before Sitak teamed up withRadu Albotto reach the semi-finals inAtlanta,but they lost in the first round inLos Cabos.Next up was theUS Open,where Sitak andDenys Molchanovlost in the first round to second seedsŁukasz KubotandMarcelo Melo.The same fate befell him in themixed doubles,where he andLucie Hradeckáalso lost in the first round.
Two more first round losses followed before Sitak reunited withDivij Sharan.Although losing their first match together, they reached the quarter-finals of theJapan Open.They made theParis Mastersas alternates, beating Pavić andBruno Soaresin the first round before losing toJérémy ChardyandFabrice Martinin the second. Two first round losses in Challenger events ended the 2019 season for Sitak.
2020[edit]
Sitak had a six-week break before he and Sharan started the new year with a first round loss inDoha.They were more successful inAuckland,upsetting top seedsJohn PeersandMichael Venusin the first round before losing a tight match in the second againstSander GilléandJoran Vliegen.They lost in the second round of theAustralian OpentoMate PavićandBruno Soaresand in the first round inPunewhen seeded second. Then followed three tournaments with a win and a loss –New York,Delray Beach(where they lost to eventual championsBobandMike Bryan) and the Chilean capital,Santiago.
The following week saw the pair split up to play for their respective countries in theDavis Cup,with Sitak joiningMarcus Daniellfor the first time in two years asNew ZealandplayedVenezuelafor the first time ever, inAuckland.It was a successful return, as the pair won their rubber in straight sets to help New Zealand to a 3–1 win and a place in the next round, againstSouth Korea.Just a day later came the news that the partnership with Sharan was over, the Indian deciding that their results weren't good enough to justify continuing as a pair.[8]That was followed by the suspension of all international tennis due to the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Sitak returned to action in August with a new partner, SlovakianIgor Zelenay.They lost in the first round in two Challenger events inPrague,but took their first title at the third attempt, inOstrava.They were the only alternate team to get into theFrench Open,but lost in the first round, as they did in a Challenger inParma.They fared better at a new ATP250 tournament inSanta Margherita di Pula,Sardinia, losing in the quarter-finals to eventual winners Marcus Daniell andPhilipp Oswald,but this was their last tournament together.

Starting in Australia, Sitak andFederico Delbonislost in the second round of theGreat Ocean Road Opento fellow New ZealandersMarcus DaniellandMichael Venus,before Sitak andJonny O'Marawere eliminated in the first round of theAustralian Openby eventual runners-upRajeev RamandJoe Salisbury.
Sitak then paired up withNicholas Monroefor the first time in several years, losing in the first round in three tournaments in South America before he moved north toAcapulco.Although he andDominik Koepferlost in the final qualifying round, they took their place in the main draw as Lucky Losers, but were beaten in a match tie-break byMarcelo DemolinerandSantiago González.
Sitak then headed to Europe, where he andSergio Martos Gornéslost in the semi-finals of a Challenger event inLugano,having won a marathon match-tie break (17–15) in their previous match. That was followed by first round losses in both aChallengerand anATPtournament in Marbella.
