At the 2002 Australian Open, Boutter defeated number 2 seed and former World number 1 Gustavo Kuerten, despite being down two sets, 3–6, 4–6, 7–5, 6–3, 6–3.
In his career he has won 1 singles title (2003 Casablanca) and reached the final in Milan (2001) but lost to Swiss Roger Federer. He also reached the semi-finals of the 2002 Australian Open partnering fellow Frenchman Arnaud Clément, only to lose to Michaël Llodra and Fabrice Santoro 3–6, 6–3, 10–12. During the match, Boutter led an impromptu funeral ceremony for a bird inadvertently hit by Llodra as it was chasing a moth.[1][2]
