[edit] Recent Activity

In July 2006 Butorac and Murray reached their first ATP Tour doubles final, in Los Angeles, losing in straight sets to the Bryan brothers who were the world's top-ranked doubles team.

In early February 2007 the US-Scots pair claimed their first doubles title in a Challenger event in Dallas [1], and a week later they won their first ATP title at the SAP Open.[2]. They continued their winning run the following week when, on February 25, 2007, the unseeded pair defeated No. 2 seeds Julian Knowle and Jurgen Melzer 7-5, 6-3, to capture the doubles title of the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships at the Racquet Club of Memphis.
