Carlos Moya was born on August 27, 1976, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
In 1996 he entered the top 20 of ATP for the first time in his life and ended at the end of next year as the best English player and the top 10.
He became the first English player to reach the Open final to Australia, since I did Andres Gimeno in 1969.
In 1998 he won his first Grand Slam (French Open, also known as Roland Garros) defeating his countryman Alex Corretja in the final.
in 1999 was crowned No. 1 ATP ranking, and also became the first English man to do so since 1974.
was part of the English team that won the Davis Cup in 2004, whose final was played at the Olimpico de la Cartuja, in which Charles won two of the three points for Spain.
His victories were against American players Mardy Fish (first point), decisive victory against the redoubtable Andy Roddick, thus achieving the valuable title of the Davis Plata, the second time I managed to Spain.
In 2005 he had a true act of solidarity when he won the tournament in Chennai, then donated all the prize awarded to the victims of the terrible accident in 2004 (Indian Ocean Earthquake)
In total, he won in his career 19 titles, among which we highlight the Roland Garros (1998), the Monte Carlo TMS (1998), the Cincinnati TMS (2002) and TMS Rome (2004).
