Butorac Renews Partnership With Murray  |

Eric Butorac approaches the 2012 Wimbledon with the hope that British star Jamie Murray and he can rekindle the magic of 2007 when they took the ATP doubles world by storm. It was a great run that catapulted two unproven pros into the international spotlight. They won three titles; Memphis, Nottingham and San Jose and were finalists in Los Angeles.

At Wimbledon in 2007 Butorac and Murray excited both Brits and Americans when they reached the 4th round. The two lefties wore matching clothing with the nicknames Booty and Stretch printed on the backs of their shirts. They were a dynamic duo that captured the admiration of the British press.

Butorac partnered with Bruno Soares for the first half of 2012. They achieved moderate success, reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, winning the Brazil Open, and reaching the third round at the French Open. Butorac appreciated this partnership with a clay court specialist who helped him expand his skills on that surface. However, they both reached a point where they believed their careers would be maximized if they paired with partners that blended more naturally.
