From the LTA:
Surrey 18-year-old Anna Smith has firmly established herself as a rising star of British tennis after enjoying a breakthrough month in September.
Smith had a strong argument for taking the LTA.org.uk August player of the month title after winning the 18-and-under Ariel Bri...
The Murrays face American pairing Eric Butorac and Travis Parrott in rd1 of ATP Tokyo.
Butorac is ranked 77 in doubles a career high for him. Jamie will know a good amount about him as they reached the final of ATP Los Angeles together in July. His regular partners are either Chris Drake or Travis Pa...
This tournament follows ATP Bangkok and begins on Monday 2nd October. It's on indoor hard. Andy will be defending points from reaching the quarters of the Mons 125k challenger last year [he withdrew with a hamstring injury during his quarter-final against Xavier Malisse]. Thank goodness the ATP h...

ATP Bangkok Final: Murray/Murray v Elrich/Ram
The Murray Brothers take on the numer one seeds Elrich and Ram in the final at Bangkok. Andy has played them twice in the davis cup winning once and losing the other one narrowly.
I think Andy and Jamie will win 7-5 6-3
Looks like the organisers in Bangkok didn't communicate everything to andy & Jamie:
From Jamie Murray's Blog on www.andymurray.com:
"We were annoyed with the Israeli pair because at 11:30pm the night before the final they had the final changed to 1pm as it clashed with their jewish festiv...

Anne Keothavong has made the main draw here, there have already been 13 withdrawals so it looks as though it will be quite weak
Tournament starts on October 2nd
There's appears to be no official website unfortunately
Since we don't have many weeks like last week, I thought I'd list all players who scored more than 5 entry points this week or got to a QF or better. It makes nice reading - though of course it'll make very scary reading this time next year when all these points have to be defended!
SINGL...
Event Details : July - Nov 2006 This is a list of all the events that we understand that Andy will play barring injury until the end of the year. Washington is the only event that is not list on the official web site schedule but he is on the entry list. If he withdraws it will be deleted here. Los Angel...
Qualifying:
Rd1: Sarah Coles vs Franziska Etzel
Etzel is a German clay-courter, currently ranked 442 [peaked at 376 in Dec 05]. Her best result this year has been reaching a 10K semi on Belgian clay. I'd expect Sarah to win this one but it may prove trickier than the stats suggest as the tourna...
