Artem Sitak has made a brilliant start to his latest ATP tournament in Budapest.
The Kiwi doubles specialist and his Dutch partner Wesley Koolhof have beaten the top seeds to reach the quarter finals.
Sitak and Koolhof have overcome Croatian Nikola Mektic and Austrian Alexander Peya 7-5, 6-7 (4), 10-6 in an hour and 44 minutes.
Sitak says it was a high quality match against a team who had just won in Marrakesh so were feeling confident.
"We knew we could win and served and returned well. We kind of stole the first set at 6-5 when we broke Peya's serve after he had been up 40-15."
