Jamie Robert Murray, OBE (born 13 February 1986) is a British professional tennis player from Scotland. He is a three-time Grand Slam winner and a Davis Cup champion, currently the world No. 4 doubles player, and a former doubles world No. 1. Murray is the elder brother of Britain's world No. 1 singles tennis player Andy Murray.
He has won three Grand Slam titles: the mixed doubles title at the 2007 Wimbledon Championships with Jelena Janković and the men's doubles titles at the 2016 Australian Open and 2016 US Open with Bruno Soares.
Murray had an early career partnership with Eric Butorac, winning three titles in 2007. Having split with Butorac at the end of 2007, he subsequently played with 43 partners over the next 5 1⁄2 years; his following seven ATP finals came with six different partners. In 2013, he began a new partnership with John Peers, winning six ATP tournaments, and reaching two Grand Slam men's doubles finals. After the partnership split up, Murray joined with Bruno Soares for the 2016 Tour, the new pair enjoying almost immediate success after winning only their second ATP tournament playing together. This turned out to be a good indicator of more success to come the pair going on to win the Australian Open, US Open and Jamie reaching the world no. 1 doubles ranking.
