Andy Murray says after a poor end to 2011 that he will attempt to end 2012 on a higher note. Murray is the defending champion in Tokyo this week. He will face Gael Monfils in the first round.
"Obviously I have good memories (of Tokyo) from last year," Murray told reporters. "It's nice to come back. I'd also like to play well at the Tour Finals in London. I didn't have the chance to do that last year (because of a groin strain). It was a very disappointing way to end the year. I want to make sure I'm 100 percent fit for that tournament and finish the year well there."
