Bruno Fraga Soares (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈbɾunu soˈaɾis];[2] born 27 February 1982) is a Brazilian former professional tennis player who specialised in doubles.

Soares was the fourth Brazilian to win a major title in any discipline, following Maria Bueno, Thomaz Koch and Gustavo Kuerten.

In early 2008, Soares won the São Paulo Challenger for the second time, rising in the doubles rankings and gaining the opportunity to compete in the main tournament circuit, the ATP tours.

[3] Helped by the winnings of the French Open, Soares decided to finish 2008 marrying architect Bruna Alvim.

[5] In 2009, Soares partnered with Kevin Ullyett from Zimbabwe, a high level doubles player who had won 32 titles and remained ranked among the top 10 for several years.

At the end of the year, with the retirement of Ullyett, Soares announced a new partnership with Marcelo Melo.

In Roland Garros, Soares defeated the brothers Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan—the world's top doubles players—and reached the quarterfinals.

In April, Soares was runner-up of the Masters 1000 Monte Carlo, playing alongside Juan Ignacio Chela.

[3] Participating at the London Olympics with Marcelo Melo, Soares reached the quarterfinals after defeating the duo Berdych/Stepanek by 24–22 in the last set.

In that tournament, partnering with Ekaterina Makarova, Soares won the biggest title of his career thus far by becoming mixed-doubles champion.

[8] Since Gustavo Kuerten's 3rd Roland Garros victory in 2001, a Brazilian had not won a Grand Slam title.

In February, partnered with Melo, he defeated the Bryan brothers at the Davis Cup in the United States.

In May, for the second time in his career, he was runner-up of a Masters 1000 in Madrid, losing only to the world leaders the Bryan brothers.

In mixed doubles, Soares reached the final of the tournament for the first time, partnered with the American Lisa Raymond.

In the US Open final, Soares could not play well because of the problem, and in the second set, Peya almost abandoned the game.

[18] At the end of October, Soares and Peya became two-time champions of the ATP 500 Valencia, defeating the Bryan brothers in the final.

Just as in 2014, they obtained only two quarterfinals in Grand Slam events, and the result in the Masters 1000 has worsened, with the pair getting only two semifinals in Miami and Canada.

Murray/Soares defeated the team of the Czech Radek Štěpánek and the Canadian Daniel Nestor in three sets in the men's doubles final.

Soares partnered with Elena Vesnina in the mixed doubles and reached the final, where they overcame Horia Tecău and CoCo Vandeweghe in three sets.

[26] In January, Soares and partner Jamie Murray reached the quarterfinal at the Australian Open, but were defeated in straight sets.

Soares announced 2018 Australian Open and 2018 Davis Cup winner, Croatian Mate Pavić, as his new partner.

During a difficult year, he was still a semifinalist at the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo and Cincinnati, made the quarterfinals at the Australian Open and was runner-up in the ATP 500 in Barcelona.

[29] At the US Open, Soares, partnering with Jamie Murray, reached the final for the fourth time in his career, defeating Filip Polášek and John Peers in the semifinals.
