VERDICT

It was here in Melbourne that Moya really announced his name to the world back in 1997 when he stunned defending champion Boris Becker in the first round and went on to reach the final, only to fall short against Pete Sampras. He went on to win the French Open the following year and climbed to the top of the world rankings. However, his record here since has been poor, so he should welcome the change of surface, especially with early reports suggesting the Plexicushion is playing slow. After a good start to the year, making week two will be a realistic aim.
