Carlos Moyá Llompart (Spanish: [ˈkarlos moˈʝa ʎomˈpart], Catalan: Carles Moyà Llompart [ˈkaɾɫəz moˈja ʎomˈpaɾt], born 27 August 1976) is a retired former world no. 1 tennis player from Spain. He was the French Open singles champion in 1998 and was the singles runner-up at the 1997 Australian Open. In 2004, he helped his country win the Davis Cup. He currently resides in Switzerland.
Moyá was born in Palma, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. He began playing tennis at six with his parents. He turned professional in 1995 and won his first tour title later that year in Buenos Aires. He is dating Spanish actress Carolina Cerezuela, with whom he has three children; a daughter, Carla Moyá Cerezuela, born by C-section on 18 August 2010 at the USP Clínica Palmaplanas in Palma, a son named Carlos Moyá Cerezuela, on 12 December 2012 in Palma, and a second daughter, Daniela Moyá Cerezuela, born on 9 April 2014.
In November 1995, at the age of 19, Moyá won his first tournament at the top-level in Buenos Aires, defeating Félix Mantilla, 6–0, 6–3, in the final. In May 1996, Moyá defeated the "king of clay" Thomas Muster, 6–3, 6–3, in the semifinals of the tournament in Munich, ending Muster's streak of winning 38 matches in a row on clay-courts. It was the fourth time in four weeks that Moyá had played a match against Muster. In the final of Munich, Sláva Doseděl defeated Moyá, 6–4, 4–6, 6–3.
