Career
Moir, the South African junior champion in 1980, played collegiate tennis while at Auburn University and was a member of the team that won the Southeastern Conference in 1983.[2] He turned professional at the end of the year.[3]
Playing as a qualifier, Moir managed to reach the third round of the US Open in 1984.[3] He defeated top 100 player Sammy Giammalva, Jr in the opening round and then won in a walkover against countryman Kevin Curren, who withdrew with a sprained ankle before the match.[4] In the third round, Moir met top seed and eventual champion John McEnroe. The American won in straight sets.[3]
He also competed in the main draw of the 1986 Wimbledon Championships but was unable to get past Jay Lapidus in the first round.[3]
