Career[edit]

2010: ATP debut[edit]

While mainly playing infutures events,Daniell received adoubleswild cardentry to play in the2010 Heineken Open,anATP 250 eventin his home country ofNew Zealand.With new doubles partner,Horia Tecău,they had an improbable run to the finals of the event. The pair first dispatched fellowNew Zealandersthe Statham brothers, 6–3, 6–2. Daniell and Tecău then won a three set showdown against the third seededSpaniardsTommy RobredoandMarcel Granollers,3–6. 7–6(5), 10–8. In the semifinal match Daniell and Tecău facedJohan BrunströmandJean-Julien Rojerwho had defeatedgrand slamwinnersLukáš DlouhýandLeander Paes.Daniell and Tecău prevailed 3–6, 7–6(4), 10–8 to set up a final withBraziliansMarcelo MeloandBruno Soares.In the championship match, Daniell and Tecău won against the Brazilians 7–5, 6–4, each player winning their firstATP World Tourtitle.[5]

Daniell was to represent New Zealand in both the singles and the doubles, paired withRubin Statham,at the2010 Commonwealth Games.[6]However, he had to withdraw due to an ongoing back injury, leaving Statham to compete in the singles alone.[7]

2015[edit]

Daniell first teamed up with BrazilianMarcelo Demolinerin theATP Challengergrass series leading up to Wimbledon. They followed their runner-up finish toKenandNeal Skupskiat Surbiton by beating the same opponents a week later in the final at Ilkley.

2016[edit]

Daniell won theStuttgart OpenwithArtem Sitakbefore again teaming up with Demoliner. They reached their first ATP World Tour final when runners-up in theSwedish Open.

Daniell competed withMichael Venusat the2016 Summer Olympics,losing a close first round match to CanadiansDaniel NestorandVasek Pospisil6–4, 3–6, 6–7 (6).[8]

2017[edit]

Daniell and Demoliner reached three ATP World Tour finals, atSão Paulo,LyonandChengdu,although they were unable to win any of them, and improved their ranking as a team to World number 15. He achieved his best win when, having had to qualify for the Swiss Indoor tournament in Basel because Demoliner was playing in Vienna, he and new partnerDominic Inglotbeat the top seeds, the world's second-ranked pair ofHenri KontinenandJohn Peers,in the first round. They eventually lost in the semi-final toFabrice MartinandÉdouard Roger-Vasselin.

2018[edit]

After losing in first-round match tie-breaks in bothBrisbaneandAuckland,Daniell and Inglot won through to the quarter-finals in theAustralian Open.In a high quality three-set match, where they saved match points in both the second and third sets, they lost to the eventual tournament winners,Oliver MarachandMate Pavić,4–6, 7–6 (10), 6–7 (5). Daniell also played in the Mixed Doubles, teaming up with Chinese playerXu Yifan.They drew third seeds and eventual semi-finalistsEkaterina MakarovaandBruno Soaresas their first-round opponents and, although winning the second set, were outclassed in the match tie-break, the final score being 6–3, 5–7, 10–2.

Daniell andArtem Sitakteamed up for the doubles in theDavis Cuptie against China, but were beaten byGong Mao-XinandZhang Ze.He then returned to the ATP tour with Inglot, losing in the first round inMontpellierbefore finishing runners-up toMichael VenusandRaven KlaaseninMarseille.Although Daniell had previously faced a New Zealander (Rubin Statham) in a Challenger doubles final, this was the first time that New Zealanders had been on opposite sides of the net in anATP World Tourdoubles final. Daniell and Inglot then moved toDubai,where they lost in a match tie-break in the first round to second seedsJean-Julien RojerandHoria Tecău.

Moving on toIndian Wells,Daniell teamed as a one-off withDiego Schwartzman.After a tough opening match, and a much easier second round, they lost in the quarter-finals toBobandMike Bryan,7–5, 6–1. The following week inMiamihe and Inglot faced theBryan brothersin the first round, winning the first set but losing the second and being well-beaten in the match tie-break. They used theMarrakechtournament to start their clay court season, winning in the first round but losing in the second toDivij SharanandJan-Lennard Struff.In that match Daniell aggravated an injury to his right wrist which he had picked up during the Davis Cup tie against China, and announced later that he would miss the rest of the clay court season to concentrate on his rehabilitation.[9][10]After the French Open it was revealed that Inglot had decided to seek another partner for the grass court season, due to his uncertainty over whether or not Daniell would be fit, and that Daniell would be teaming up with fellow New ZealanderArtem Sitak's former partner inWesley Koolhof.[11]

Daniell returned to tournament play atQueen's Clubin London. He and Koolhof lost in qualifying, but became lucky losers and beat the wildcard combination ofNovak DjokovicandStan Wawrinkain the first round, before going down toJamie MurrayandBruno Soaresin a match tie-break. In their last tournament before Wimbledon, Daniell and Koolhof lost in the first round atEastbournetoRyan HarrisonandNicholas Monroe,again in a match tie-break.

AtWimbledonDaniell and Koolhof lost to qualifiersSriram BalajiandVishnu Vardhanin the first round, while in themixed doubleshe andNadiia Kichenokwon their first match, but lost in the second round to 10th seedsJuan Sebastian CabalandAbigail Spears.They then returned to the European clay courts, losing in the quarter-finals of the Swedish Open, the semi-finals of the German Open in Hamburg (toOliver MarachandMate Pavic), and the first round inKitzbühel,the latter toJürgen MelzerandPhilipp Petzschner,who had also beaten them in Sweden.

In their last tournament before the US Open, Daniell and Koolhof played atWinston-Salem,losing in the quarter-finals to eventual championsJean-Julien RojerandHoria Tecau.AtFlushing Meadowsthey won their first round match, but lost the second to fourth seedsJamie MurrayandBruno Soares.

Daniell then travelled to Korea, where he joined the rest of the New ZealandDavis Cupteam inGimcheon.Scheduled to play the doubles rubber withArtem Sitak,Daniell had to withdraw on the morning of the match due to a recurrence of a back injury, his place being taken byAjeet Rai.New Zealand lost the tie 2–3, being relegated to Asia/Oceania Group II for the first time in five years.

Daniell and Koolhof next played inShenzhen,losing in the quarter-finals toMax MirnyiandPhilipp Oswald.They found Marach and Pavic too strong again in theChina Open,losing 14–12 in a match tie-break in the quarter-finals. Daniell returned to play a Challenger event in his home city of Barcelona after that match, losing in his third successive quarter-final, and then teamed up again with Koolhof to play in theStockholm Open.They were the only seeded team to reach the semi-finals, where they beatJulien BenneteauandLucas Pouille,and they met the British pair ofLuke BambridgeandJonny O'Marain the final. Losing the first set, they held four set points in the second set tie-break, but were unable to convert any, and then a fifth set point went by as well. Bambridge and O'Mara won on their second match point, the score being 7–5, 7–6 (8).

Their next event was theAustrian Open,where they lost in a first round match tie-break toJoe SalisburyandNeal Skupski.Daniell's final tournament for the year was a Challenger event inEckental,Germany, where he teamed up with his former long-term partner inMarcelo Demoliner.They were top seeds, but both their first two matches went to three tie-breaks, winning both the deciders 10–7. Their semi-final was against the German fourth seeds,Kevin KrawietzandAndreas Mies,who had raucous vocal support from the local crowd. Yet another match tie-break was required, with the crowd going wild as Krawietz and Mies prevailed 10–8. They went on to win the title.

2019[edit]

Daniell and Koolhof began their year inBrisbane,needing tie-breaks of one kind or another in all three matches on their way to the final, where they defeated fourth seedsRajeev RamandJoe Salisburyin straight sets, 6–4, 7–6 (6). It was the fourth ATP World Tour title for each of them, but their first together. InAucklandthey lost in a very close quarter-final, 7–6 (4), 7–6 (5), to the eventual champions,Ben McLachlanandJan-Lennard Struff,in a match which didn't start until 11.15 pm due to Struff having had a three-hour singles quarter-final match earlier that evening.

In theAustralian Openthey beat the wildly popular home pair ofLleyton HewittandJohn-Patrick Smithin three sets, before falling toMichael VenusandRaven Klaasenin the second round. With yet another injury break intervening, it was another month before Daniell played again, he and Koolhof losing in the first round inAcapulcotoFelicianoandMarc López.

Phoenixwas their next stop, where they lost a very tight quarter-final match in thePhoenix Challengerto eventual championsJamie MurrayandNeal Skupski,6–7 (8), 6–4, 12–10. Daniell and Koolhof went in different directions after that, with Daniell losing in the first round of a Challenger atSophia Antipolisin France, and then partneringDavid Marreroto victory in the Challenger tournament inMurcia.

Reunited with Koolhof, Daniell next played in theHungarian Openin Budapest, where they lost in the final toKenandNeal Skupski.They made the semi-finals inEstorilbefore losing to top seedsŁukasz KubotandMarcelo Meloin the second round of theFrench Open.Daniell andLuke Bambridgereached the semi-finals atSurbitonbefore he and Koolhof were beaten in the final at's-HertogenboschbyDominic InglotandAustin Krajicek.

Daniell partnered withLeander PaesatIlkley,losing in the final toSantiago GonzálezandAisam-ul-Haq Qureshi,before rejoining Koolhof atEastbourne.They again found Inglot and Krajicek to be a stumbling block, losing in a match tie-break in the quarter-finals. In a career-best performance for the New Zealander at a Grand Slam event, Daniell and Koolhof got to the quarter-finals atWimbledon,where they were beaten in straight sets byIvan DodigandFilip Polášek.In another career-best effort, Daniell andJennifer Bradymade the third round of themixed doublesbefore losing to eventual semi-finalistsMatwé MiddelkoopandYang Zhaoxuan.

Daniell's partnership with Koolhof came to an end at Wimbledon,[12]and he rejoined Paes for the only American grass court tournament, atNewport,where they reached the semi-finals. First round losses followed atMontreal,Winston-Salemand theUS Open,the latter two with Ken Skupski. Daniell also played mixed doubles at theUS Open,partnering Croatia'sDarija Jurak,but they were well-beaten in the first round by the second seeds,Gabriela DabrowskiandMate Pavić.

In September he andMichael Venuswon the doubles rubber in New Zealand'sDavis Cuptie against Indonesia, before Daniell linked up with what he hoped would be his new long-term partner,Philipp Oswald.They reached the semi-finals inMoscowandViennabefore finishing the year with a second round loss in theParis Masters.

2020[edit]

Daniell and Oswald resumed in theASB Classicin Auckland, losing in the final toLuke BambridgeandBen McLachlan.They then lost in the first round four times in a row, at theAustralian Opento sixth seedsMarcel GranollersandHoracio Zeballos,inNew YorkandDelray BeachtoMarcelo ArevaloandJonny O'Maraand, in somewhat of an upset, toGrigor DimitrovandTaylor FritzinAcapulco.

After that it was back to New Zealand for the Davis Cup tie againstVenezuelain Auckland, where Daniell teamed up withArtem Sitakfor the first time in two years. New Zealand won the tie 3–1, with Daniell and Sitak beatingLuis David MartínezandJordi Muñoz Abreu6–3, 7–6 (3) in the doubles rubber. International play was suspended because of the COVID-19 coronavirus just a few days later.

Daniell resumed his career in theUS Openat the beginning of September, where he and Oswald defeatedRaven KlaasenandOliver Marachin the first round, but were upset by the American wild card pair ofChristopher EubanksandMackenzie McDonaldin the second. They lost in the quarter-finals inKitzbühelandForliin the lead-up to the rescheduledFrench Open,where they lost in the first round to seventh seedsMate PavićandBruno Soares.That was also their fate when top seeds inParma,but they followed that by winning the title as third seeds at the new ATP250 tournament inSanta Margherita di Pula,upsetting top seedsJuan Sebastián CabalandRobert Farahin the final.

Daniell and Oswald then moved on toCologne,where they lost to French Open championsKevin KrawietzandAndreas Miesin the semi-finals, and followed that with a quarter-final loss inNur-Sultan.Their final tournament for the year was theParis Masters,where they beat Krawietz andAlexander Zverevin the first round before losing toJürgen MelzerandÉdouard Roger-Vasselin.Although that was the extent of their on-court activity, Daniell was elected to theATP Player Councilin December[13]as one of the two doubles representatives, replacing Melzer, who retired from competitive tennis after the ATP Finals.
