Zack Fleishman and
Robert Smeets. In July, Murray and Fleming reached the final of the
Shelbourne Irish Open where they were defeated 6-3, 2-6, [10-8] against

Igor Kunitsyn and
Danai Udomchoke. Murray stayed in the U.S. to play the
Comerica Bank Challenger with American
Mirko Pehar where they reached the semifinals. Murray and American player
Eric Butorac, playing together for the first time, reached the final of the
Los Angeles ATP tournament which they lost in straight sets to the world's top-ranked doubles team, the
Bryan brothers. The pair came to be known as Booty and Stretch, putting their nicknames on the back of their shirts. Scotland won –1. In January 2007, the Murray brothers reached the semifinals of the
Qatar Open where they lost to eventual winners
Mikhail Youzhny and
Nenad Zimonjić. In early February, Murray played with Butorac to claim their first doubles title in the

Queen's Club Championships, where they lost in the quarterfinals. The next week, the duo participated in the
Nottingham Open seeded as number 3. Murray and Butorac were the eventual winners of the tournament after defeating the British duo of
Joshua Goodall and
Ross Hutchins by 4–6, 6–3, [10–5]. With this positive result, the duo went on to the
Wimbledon Championships. However, they went out in the third round after losing against Czech duo of
Lukáš Dlouhý and
Pavel Vízner. Nevertheless, Murray was successful in the mixed doubles partnering with
Jelena Janković. Murray had met Janković at a party in Miami in 2006, where she was unaware that he played tennis. Murray's agent subsequently asked her if she would like to play mixed doubles with him at Wimbledon. She had made no decision until they arrived at the All England Club. At the same time, the day before the tournament started and Murray asked again, when she agreed. They won the Mixed Doubles title at
Wimbledon, Murray becoming the first Briton to win a Wimbledon title for 20 years. Great Britain's
last Wimbledon winners were
Jeremy Bates and
Jo Durie in 1987, also in the Mixed Doubles. In July 2007, Murray and Butorac started the hard court season at the
Countrywide Classic, where they lost in the first round, then played in the
Indianapolis Tennis Championships, losing in the quarterfinals, and in the
Legg Mason Tennis Classic, where they were out in the first round. In August, Murray continued his preparation for the US Open. First, he played the
Canadian Open in
Montreal partnering with American
James Blake (losing in the first round), then took part in the
Cincinnati Masters with Indian
Mahesh Bhupathi (where they lost in the second round), and lastly he played the
New Haven Open with Australian Jordan Kerr (losing in the semifinals). Since Memphis tournament in February, Murray and Butorac only went past the quarterfinals of a tournament once. In August, they agreed an amicable split, but decided to play together the
US Open, where they lost in the second round. As for the mixed doubles, Murray reached the semifinal alongside
Liezel Huber, coming within ten points of winning a place in the final. In September 2007, Murray was selected for the
Davis Cup World Group Play-off against Croatia. Murray played the doubles with
Tim Henman beating
Marin Čilić and
Lovro Zovko. Great Britain won 4-1 and were promoted to the World Group. In October, Murray returned to action with his younger brother Andy in the
Moselle Open. The eventually lost in the second round. The next week, he partnered Kerr in the
Vienna Open, where they were defeated in the first round. The next week, Murray went on to play the
Madrid Open with Bahamian
Mark Knowles, where they were the number 8 seeds. However, they lost in the second round to Polish duo of
Mariusz Fyrstenberg and
Marcin Matkowski. Late in that month, Murray played the
Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon with Kerr but they lost in the quarterfinals. Murray participated in the
Paris Masters, his last tournament of the season, with his brother Andy. The brothers lost in the first round against Kerr and
André Sá. Murray lost his singles ranking this year. Murray began 2008 with his new doubles partner
Max Mirnyi, but the partnership struggled. Despite victory in the
Delray Beach International Tennis Championships in February, they had failed to reach any other finals, winning just one of their first four matches as a pair and exiting eleven tournaments within the first two rounds, including at the
2008 Australian Open. Without Mirnyi, Murray has appeared to have had more success, reaching the semi-final of the
Movistar Open with
Nicolás Lapentti in January and final of the
Estoril Open with
Kevin Ullyett in April. Murray still showed some interest in singles tennis. He competed in a singles qualifying match against
Marcel Granollers in January and applied for a wildcard singles entry for
Wimbledon. He was given a wildcard into the qualifying stages for the Queen's Club Championships, but lost to Poland's
Łukasz Kubot and was refused entry into the Wimbledon singles tournament. Whilst Murray enjoyed singles, he also thought the Davis Cup team would stand in good stead to have another member with recent singles experience, but he now accepted that he would henceforth only be a doubles player. At the
Olympic Games, the two Murrays competed together in the doubles tournament. After defeating Canadian pair
Frédéric Niemeyer and
Daniel Nestor in the first Round, they then lost to the French pair,
Arnaud Clément and
Michaël Llodra, in straight sets. The Davis Cup captain
John Lloyd said he watched the Murrays doubles at the Olympics, and it was clear they were not getting on. Mixed doubles once again proved to be more successful for Murray in 2008. Competing with
Liezel Huber, he reached the final of the
2008 US Open, though they lost to
Cara Black and
Leander Paes. He also reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon and quarter-finals of Roland Garros. Seven months after the Davis Cup Argentina match, the Murray brothers prepared for the tie against Austria, with Andy declaring that he had healed the rift with Jamie. Andy won his singles matches, but Jamie and Ross Hutchins lost the doubles. Great Britain eventually lost their
World Group play-off to Austria 3-2 and were relegated to Europe/Africa Zone Group 1. Mirnyi and Murray had mediocre results, compiling a 15–17 record. They split in September 2008, and Murray formed a new partnership with
Dušan Vemić of Serbia at the start of the 2009 season. In November 2008, Murray finished the season partnering Jamie Delgado. They played in the
Slovak Open (where they were defeated in the quarterfinals), the
PEOPLEnet Cup (where they lost in the first round) and the
IPP Open (where they were defeated in the first round). In 2009, Murray played the
Brisbane and
Sydney tournaments with Vemić but played the Australian Open with his old partner Eric Butorac as Vemić was unavailable. Butorac and Murray, who had not played together since the 2007 US Open, lost in the first round at Melbourne Park. Since splitting from Vemić at the end of February, Murray played with several different partners, including
Simon Aspelin,
Jamie Delgado (playing together the
Status Athens Open),
Paul Hanley (playing together the
Zagorka Cup and the
Tunis Open),
Pavel Vízner (playing together the
Zagreb Open,
Gilles Müller and
Jonathan Erlich. With Müller he reached the semi-final at
Nottingham, his best result since the same tournament last year. Murray played with Vízner at the French Open and with Erlich at Wimbledon, but was defeated in the first round of both tournaments. However, he did reach the semifinals of the mixed doubles at Wimbledon with his regular partner
Liezel Huber. Dropping out of the world top one hundred, Murray returned to the
Challenger circuit with new partner
Jamie Delgado playing in the
Poznań Open. The British duo returned to the ATP Tour to play the
Umag Open, where they were defeated in the first round. This was the last top level tournament Murray played in the season. Once he started playing in the lower ranked tournaments, he took part in the
San Marino Open and the
Zucchetti Kos Tennis Cup. However, he only won his first tournament of any sort in eighteen months at the
Tirani Cup in August 2009. He then participated in the
Savoldi–Cò – Trofeo Dimmidisì followed by victory at the
TEAN International (with
Jonathan Marray). Murray returned to action with Delgado at the
Banja Luka Challenger and became champions of the
Ljubljana Open. The pair then went on to play at the
Ethias Trophy and the
Købstædernes ATP Challenger, where they lost both times in the first round. He was a semifinalist at
Open d'Orléans. In November, partnering
Jonathan Marray, Murray went on to win the
President's Cup. Murray finished the season at the
Slovak Open, being defeated in the first round.
2010–2015 Jamie played regularly with fellow Briton Jonathan Marray. He started the 2010 year as a semifinalist in the ATP Challenger event in the
Prime Cup Aberto de São Paulo with Jonathan Marray. His first win of the year came in
Salinas, Ecuador. He lost in another Challenger event in the
Open Bucaramanga on clay in the quarterfinals. Murray played his first ATP tournament of the season at the

2010 Serbia Open but lost in the first round. He then went back to Challenger tournaments by playing the
Trofeo Paolo Corazzi. He then went on to participate in the second Grand Slam of the season, the
French Open, but lost in the first round. Murray started to prepare the grass season at the
Queen's Club Championships losing in the second round. He then played the
Eastbourne International but lost in the first round. At the
Wimbledon Championships, Murray received a wildcard but was defeated in the first round. He also competed in the mixed doubles, alongside
Laura Robson, but also lost in the first round. At the
2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, he competed for Scotland. Playing
singles, he was beaten by England's
James Ward in the second round; partnering
Colin Fleming in the
doubles, they lost in the first round. Playing in his first tournament since getting married, Murray played with his brother
Andy Murray. The pair had a great week in Valencia and won the tournament. This was Jamie's first win on the top level of the tour for over two years and the first time that he has won a doubles title with his brother. Murray ended the season with another Challenger win, in
Bratislava. at the 2011 Japan Open Tennis Championships Murray began 2011 playing with
Xavier Malisse. Though the pair lost in their first ATP event at Chennai, Murray won his first match at a Grand Slam since Wimbledon 2008 as they progressed to the second round of the
Australian Open. Murray followed this up with two semi-final appearances, partnering
Alexander Peya at the
SA Open and his brother Andy at
Rotterdam. These successes saw Murray climb back into the world top 50. At the
French Open, Murray and his partner
Chris Guccione were eliminated in the second round of the men's doubles by the top-seeded
Bryans, but he progressed to the semi-finals of the
mixed doubles with
Nadia Petrova. In August, he reached the semi-finals of the
Winston–Salem Open but lost in straight sets to
Christopher Kas and
Alexander Peya. He partnered
Santiago González. At the US Open, he and partner González went out in the first round in straight sets to
Jürgen Melzer and
Philipp Petzschner, who went on to win the tournament. He next played at the
Open de Moselle, where he partnered
André Sá, going on to win the tournament by defeating
Lukáš Dlouhý and
Marcelo Melo in the final, winning in straight sets. Two weeks later, he won his second title of the year partnering with brother
Andy Murray at the
Rakuten Japan Open Tennis Championships. They defeated
František Čermák and
Filip Polášek. In doing so, he rose to a career-high doubles ranking of no. 23 in the world. Murray began 2012 playing at the
Brisbane International partnering
Paul Hanley for the first time. They made it into the second round, but lost in straight sets. At the
Australian Open the pair lost in the first round in three sets to
Julian Knowle and
Michael Kohlmann. Murray got to his first final of the season again partnering Paul Hanley at the
Open Sud de France, but lost the final to
Nicolas Mahut and
Édouard Roger-Vasselin in straight sets. At the French Open, Murray, this time partnering
Carsten Ball, lost in the first round to
Yen-Hsun Lu and
Go Soeda in three sets. At Wimbledon, Murray re-partnered with longtime partner
Eric Butorac for the first time in five years. They went out in the second round in straight sets to
Arnaud Clément and
Michaël Llodra. Having lost in the first round at the
German Open, Murray next competed at the
London 2012 Summer Olympics in the doubles event partnering Brother Andy, who was also competing in the singles event. Jamie described partnering his brother at the London Olympics as a
dream come true.
Colin Fleming and
Ross Hutchins also competed together to represent
Great Britain in the doubles event. Unfortunately, the dream was not long lived as they lost in the first round to
Austria (
Melzer/
Peya) in a very close three-setter. At the
2012 US Open, Murray had another disappointing campaign as he and partner
André Sá lost in the first round to fifteenth seeds
Peya/
Soares in straight sets. They did, however, go on to reach the final of a challenger in
Pétange the following week. The pair didn't go on to achieve much more in the remainder of the 2012 season, their most notable result coming at the
Erste Bank Open where they reached the semi-finals. Murray then spent the final month of the season playing with a variety of different partners on the
Challenger Tour. Murray began
2013 playing with fellow
Scot,
Colin Fleming. Their first tournament was the
Brisbane International where they were only able to make the quarter-finals despite being second seeds. They followed this up with a poor showing at the
Australian Open where they lost their opening match to
Kohlmann/
Nieminen in straight sets. Murray was close to sliding out of the doubles top 100 and contemplated quitting the sport altogether. At the start of February 2013, Murray paired up with
John Peers. This partnership looked to be more successful as they reached the semi-finals of their first tournament together, the
Open Sud de France. They continued playing together and won their first title of the year at the
US Men's Clay Court Championship, upsetting the top-seeded Bryan brothers in the final. The pair played their first Grand Slam together at the
French Open where they lost in the second round in three sets to the Colombian pairing of
Cabal/
Farah. Going out early allowed them to play in the
Aegon Trophy on the
Challenger Tour during the second week of the slam which they went on to win. They followed this with a fairly successful grass court season where they reached the quarter-finals of the
Aegon Championships and the semi-finals of the
Aegon International. This gave them confidence heading into
Wimbledon, however they lost in the first round to
Blake/
Melzer in a match where the deciding set finished 14–12 after lasting 87 minutes. Not disheartened, Murray/Peers won their second
ATP Tour title of the year only a few weeks later in
Gstaad, beating the Spanish pair of
Andújar/
García-López in the final. They followed this up with a strong showing at the
Bet-at-home Cup where they reached the semi-finals. Next up was the
US Open. The pair faced ninth seeds
Marrero/
Verdasco in their opening match and pulled off a shock, winning in straight sets. Two narrow three set wins followed over
López/
Sá as well as the American pairing of
Baker/
Ram. This resulted in Murray reaching his first ever Grand Slam quarter-final in the men's doubles. Murray/Peers would not progress any further, losing to second seeds
Peya/
Soares. Murray/Peers had a highly successful Asian swing of tournaments, reaching back-to-back finals in
Bangkok and
Tokyo, winning the former against
Bednarek/
Brunström. In
Shanghai, Murray reached only his second
Masters 1000 semi-final, defeating established doubles champions
Julien Benneteau,
Nenad Zimonjic and
Robert Lindstedt en route before losing in two tightly contested tiebreaks against
Marrero/
Verdasco. As a result of their successful first season as a pair, Murray/Peers finished 10th in the Race to London, only 665 points behind the 8th placed qualifiers. In November, the
Lawn Tennis Association announced a dramatic cut in elite player funding with all financial support withdrawn from Britain's doubles specialists and any singles players aged over 24 to reduce the number of supported players from 16 this year to just six in 2014. Murray started the 2014 year at
Brisbane International with regular partner
John Peers. The pair made it to the semi-finals before they lost to
Daniel Nestor and
Mariusz Fyrstenberg in straight sets. Their next tournament was the
Heineken Open. They made the quarterfinals before withdrawing from the tournament. At the
Australian Open they were the 15th seeds (the first time they were a seeded pair in a grand slam tournament). They made the second round before losing to
Raven Klaasen and
Eric Butorac in straight sets. Due to injury Jamie Murray didn't play again until the
BNP Paribas Open where he and regular partner
John Peers lost to
Julien Benneteau and
Édouard Roger-Vasselin. Their next tournament was the
Sony Open Tennis where they lost in straight sets to sixth seeds Daniel Nestor and
Nenad Zimonjić. Murray and Peers started their clay court season at the
Grand Prix Hassan II where they were the seconds seeds. The pair made the semi-finals before losing to
Lukáš Dlouhý and
Tomasz Bednarek in straight sets. They made a second consecutive semi-final at the
BRD Năstase Țiriac Trophy before losing to top seeds
Jean-Julien Rojer and
Horia Tecău. At the
BMW Open the pair defeated the top seeds
Raven Klaasen and
Eric Butorac in the semi-finals before defeating fellow countrymen
Colin Fleming and
Ross Hutchins to win their first title of the year. They then lost in the opening round of the
Mutua Madrid Open, but managed to bounce back and reach the semi-finals of the
Düsseldorf Open. The pair followed this up by reaching the third round of the
French Open, Murray's best result at the tournament, where they were defeated by top seeds
Bob and Mike Bryan. Murray and Peers instantly gained revenge for their loss as the grass court season began, defeating the Bryan brothers in straight sets at the
Aegon Championships. They made it all the way to the final, their second of the year, but were beaten by second seeds
Alexander Peya and
Bruno Soares in a hotly contested match. They then lost their opening match of the
Aegon International. At
Wimbledon they were seeded 14th and won their opening two matches in straight sets. They then faced Peya and Soares in the third round. The match went all the way to a fifth set but Murray and Peers once again were unable to overcome the duo and narrowly missed out on making their second Grand Slam quarterfinal. Murray did, however, make the quarterfinals of the
mixed doubles, partnering Australian
Casey Dellacqua.
2015–2020 Murray/Peers again began 2015 at the
2015 Brisbane International where they defeated top seeds
Rojer/
Tecau in the first round before going on to win the title by defeating the pairing of
Dolgopolov/
Nishikori. The pair reached the third round at the
2015 Australian Open as the 16th seeds losing to 4th seeds
Dodig/
Melo. The pair's good form continued in
Rotterdam where after losing in the qualifying rounds they were handed a 1R match as lucky losers following a withdrawal. The pair went on to reach the finals before losing in a rematch against
Rojer/
Tecau. In March 2015, Murray was selected for the
Davis Cup first round tie against the United States in Glasgow. Following
Andy Murray and
James Ward winning the opening singles rubbers, Murray and
Dominic Inglot played the Bryan Brothers; this was the first time Murray and Inglot had played together since the juniors, 12 years previously. After the USA duo cruised through the first two sets, the Brits rallied but fell short at the final hurdle in a five-set defeat. Andy Murray won his next singles match, putting Great Britain through to the Davis Cup quarter-final. The last time Great Britain won back-to-back Davis Cup matches against the USA was 80 years previously. In April, Murray/Peers again reached their third final of the year in
Barcelona but lost to
Draganja/
Kontinen. In May the pair reached back to back quarterfinals at ATP 1000 Masters in
Madrid and
Rome. In Madrid they lost to
Lopez/
Mirnyi and in Rome they lost to eventual finalists
Granollers/
Lopez. Murray was behind an initiative aimed at engaging with the next generation to make them more active and attract them to tennis. While he was committed to competing with Peers at the
Topshelf Open in the Netherlands, eventually losing out in the semi-finals, 64 kids, aged 12 and under, battled it out for the inaugural Jamie Murray Cup and the chance to win flights and tickets to the doubles rubber in next month's Davis Cup tie against France. In July 2015, Murray/Peers reached the final of the
2015 Wimbledon Championships finishing as runners up to
Rojer/
Tecau in straight sets. He and his brother Andy won their match in the
Davis Cup World Group quarter final tie against France to help
Great Britain reach the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since 1981. In August 2015, at the
Montreal Masters, Murray/Peers defeated
Andy Murray/
Leander Paes in the second round – the first time the Murrays had competed against each other in a Tour-level match. Jamie Murray declared "It was weird. We've only ever played together", while Andy described it as "awkward". Murray/Peers eventually lost in the quarter-finals. In September 2015, Murray/Peers saved a match point against
Steve Johnson/
Sam Querrey in the semi-finals to reach the final of the
2015 US Open, where they finished as runners-up to
Nicolas Mahut/
Pierre-Hugues Herbert, losing in straight sets. The following week, Murray competed against Australia in the semifinals of the
Davis Cup World Group in Glasgow's
Emirates Arena, winning his doubles rubber (partnered with his brother) in five sets against the pairing of
Sam Groth and
Lleyton Hewitt, helping to guide
Great Britain to the
Davis Cup final for the first time since 1978 with a 3–2 victory. In October, Murray and Peers revealed they would be playing with new partners next year. Car manufacturer Peugeot announced a two-year sponsorship deal with Jamie lasting until 2017. Murray decided to rest in the hope of finding his best form for the Davis Cup Final by skipping the entirety of the 'Asian swing': a three-week sequence that begins in Shenzhen on Monday and runs through Tokyo, Beijing and Shanghai, incurring a possible financial downside. Murray was selected for the
2015 final against Belgium in
Ghent and played the
doubles rubber with brother Andy, defeating
David Goffin and
Steve Darcis in a hard-fought four-set victory. Great Britain went on to build an unassailable 3–1 lead, winning the Davis Cup for the
first time since 1936. Murray joined his Davis Cup teammates at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year show where they won 2015's
Team of the Year Award. With Andy Murray losing in the
singles final, this was the first time two brothers had reached separate finals at the same Grand Slam since
Lawrence and
Reginald Doherty at the
1906 Wimbledon Championships. Consequently, Jamie became the doubles world no. 2, while Andy was the singles world no. 2, which was the first time that brothers had achieved this. The two world number 2's played doubles in the
Davis Cup World Group first round match against Japan beating Yoshihito Nishioka and Yasutaka Uchiyama in straight sets in a little under two hours. Andy was chosen because Leon Smith had expected Japan's no. 1
Kei Nishikori, but he had been rested, disappointing Britain's other doubles specialist,
Dominic Inglot. Great Britain won 3-1 progressing to the quarterfinals. Following the defeat of
Marcelo Melo at the
Miami Masters, Murray became the new world No. 1, and overtook Melo at the top of the rankings on the 4th of April. Murray was appointed
Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the
2016 Birthday Honours for services to tennis and charity. He and Soares enjoyed more Grand Slam success at the
US Open, defeating
Pablo Carreño Busta and
Guillermo García-López in the final, in straight sets. In January 2017, Murray and partner
Bruno Soares reached the final of the
Sydney International losing in straight sets to Dutch pair
Wesley Koolhof and
Matwé Middelkoop in straight sets. At the
2017 Australian Open they lost in the first round to Americans
Sam Querry and
Donald Young. In March 2017, they won their first title of 2017 at the
Mexico Open, defeating American
John Isner and Spaniard
Feliciano López in straight sets. In June 2017, Murray and
Soares reached the quarterfinals at the
2017 French Open of the men's doubles but lost in three sets to eventual runners-up
Santiago González and
Donald Young. However, they did go on to win back to back titles during the grass court season at both the
Stuttgart Open defeating
Oliver Marach and
Mate Pavić in three sets, and at the
Queen's Club Championships defeating the French duo of
Julien Benneteau and
Édouard Roger-Vasselin in straight sets. At the
2017 Wimbledon Championships, Murray and Soares poor run at the Grand Slams continued as they went out in the second round in five sets to
Sam Groth and
Robert Lindstedt having led two sets to one. However, he won the
Mixed Doubles title alongside
Martina Hingis without losing a set. They defeated the defending champions: fellow Briton
Heather Watson and Finland's
Henri Kontinen (the Men's Doubles world No 1) in straight sets. This was exactly 10 years since Jamie won his first title partnering
Jelena Janković, and his fourth major title overall. In August 2017, at the
Cincinnati Masters he and Soares lost in the final in straight sets to French pair
Pierre-Hugues Herbert and
Nicolas Mahut. In September, At the
2017 US Open he again partnered Martina Hingis in the Mixed Doubles. They beat Chinese Taipei's
Chan Hao-ching and the New Zealander
Michael Venus in three sets in 69 minutes to win the US Open Mixed Doubles Title. Murray and Hingis thus won back to back majors in the Mixed Doubles and currently have an undefeated partnership of 10–0 at the Grand Slams. He and seasonal partner Soares lost in the quarter finals of the Men's Doubles in straight sets to Eventual winners
Jean-Julien Rojer and
Horia Tecău. In July 2018, Murray and new mixed doubles partner
Victoria Azarenka reached the final of the
Wimbledon tournament, but were defeated in straight sets. In August, he and partner Bruno Soares won the
Washington Open followed by the
Cincinnati Masters. In September, he retained the
US Open mixed doubles title, partnering American
Bethanie Mattek-Sands in their first entry as a pair; it was her eighth Grand Slam doubles title overall and Murray's sixth. In January 2019, Murray and doubles partner
Bruno Soares reached the men's doubles quarter-finals of the
Australian Open, but were defeated in straight sets, with the same outcome in the
mixed doubles with Bethanie Mattek-Sands. After a decline in form including a first round exit at the
French Open, Murray split with Soares and formed a new partnership with fellow Briton
Neal Skupski. The new duo fell in the first round at
Wimbledon, while in the
mixed doubles, Murray and Mattek-Sands lost in the second round. In the quarterfinal of the
2019 Cincinnati Masters tournament, Jamie Murray (the title holder with Soares) and Neal Skupski met Andy Murray and
Feliciano López in only the second match between the siblings in their senior careers; Jamie and Skupski won in three sets to progress. The brothers had already teamed up a few weeks earlier for the
Washington Open where Jamie was also the reigning champion, being eliminated in the quarterfinals. At the

Horacio Zeballos. Unfortunately the team had another poor running at the
2023 French Open as they went out in the third round to the third seeds and defending champions of
Marcelo Arévalo and
Jean-Julien Rojer in straight sets. However, the poor showing may have been in due part to the fact Murray had to withdraw from his second round
Mixed doubles match having come down with food poisoning the following day, an issue which affected multiple players at the Championship. The grass court season didn't fare too well for the team as they fell to first round exits at both Eastbourne and Queens. However, they had a much more positive run at

2023 Zhuhai Championships defeating the American pair of
Nathaniel Lammons and
Jackson Withrow in straight sets. This was the first time in Murray's career he has won four titles in a single season. The 2024 Season was a slow start for pair including a 1st round defeat at the
Australian Open. However, in their next tournament they won their first title of the season and fifth as a partnership at the
Qatar Open. The next few months where a struggle with only a semi-final run to the
Madrid Open of note. After which they made another early exit at the second Slam of the year at the
