In 2006 he reached two ATP Tour doubles finals. In late July, Murray and the American player Eric Butorac reached the final of the Los Angeles tournament which they lost in straight sets to the world's top-ranked doubles team, the Bryan brothers. In September, partnering his younger brother, Murray reached the final of the Bangkok tournament, losing to the top Israeli doubles pairing Andy Ram and Jonathan Erlich (2-6 6-2 4-10).

In early February 2007, Murray and Butorac claimed their first doubles title^[2] in the AT&T Challenger tournament. They then won back to back doubles titles on the ATP Tour, at the SAP Open in San Jose ^[3] and the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships at the Racquet Club of Memphis ^[4]. These victories lifted Murray into the top 50 in the ATP doubles rankings for the first time.

On March 20, 2007 it was revealed that Jamie told of his first call-up to the Great Britain Davis Cup team, where he was picked for the doubles rubber on the Saturday of the tie against the Netherlands on April 7. Jamie played alongside Greg Rusedski versus Robin Haase and Rogier Wassen. Murray/Rusedski beat the Dutch 6-1 3-6 6-3 7-6 (7-5).
