Tennis: Daniell wins another doubles title

New Zealand's Marcus Daniell won his second doubles title in consecutive weekends when he teamed up with local Richard Gabb to win the Felixstowe Futures in the UK.

Daniell and Gabb beat the unseeded British pairing of Robin Goodman and Euan McIntosh 7-6(7) 6-4 which saw Daniell, who claimed the 2010 Heineken Open doubles crown, win his 15th career doubles title.

Meanwhile, Wellington's Finn Tearney won his first ITF doubles title at the US$10,000 Futures in Turkey and Davis Cup player Michael Venus is through to the doubles final at the US$50,000 Binghampton Challenger in the US.

Venus and American Bradley Khlan beat Tennys Sandgren and Austin Krajicek 7-5 6-3 in the semifinals and will now play top-seeded Australians Adam Feeney and John Patrick-Smith.

Venus won the doubles at his last tournament, the Winnetka Challenger, and is now a career-high 186 in the ATP doubles rankings.
