Carlos Moya Tops Idol Ivan Lendl For His 5th Champions Tour Title By Steve Dorsey Carlos Moya’s professional tennis career was dealt a blow two years ago when a foot injury forced his retirement from the ATP World Tour. But Moya, who captured 20 ATP World Tour titles, has made a comeback of sorts on the ATP Champions Tour. Moya defeated eight-time Grand Slam champion Ivan Lendl, his boyhood idol, 6-4, 6-4 Tuesday night at the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center to claim his fifth title since joining the ATP Champions Tour last year. “It was a strange feeling to see him across the net.

Nishioka had reached a career-high ATP world ranking of No. 58 about three years ago and was trending toward reaching the Top 50, an important goal of his.
