Julien Boutter (born 5 April 1974) is a former professional male
tennis player from
France.
At the
2002 Australian Open, Boutter defeated No. 2 seed and former World No. 1
Gustavo Kuerten, despite being down two sets, 3–6, 4–6, 7–5, 6–3, 6–3.
In his career, he won one singles title (2003
Casablanca) and reached the final in
Milan (2001) but lost to Swiss
Roger Federer. He reached two
Master Series quarterfinals at
Hamburg in 2002 and
Monte Carlo in 2003. Boutter 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.
