Moya Digs in Dirt for 6th ATP Umag Attempt


Posted on July 12, 2008

The coastal vacation destination Umag pulls in a respectable field this week, considering most top players are either recovering from the back-to-back clay and grasscourt seasons, or resting-up for a run at the Beijing Olympics.

Spaniard Fernando "Hot Sauce" Verdasco is the top seed on the dirt at the ATP Studena Croatia Open, followed by "Dr." Ivo Karlovic, former No. 1 Carlos Moya, Igor Andreev, Croat Ivan Ljubicic, Guillermo Canas, Fabio Fognini, and Marcos Daniel.

Canas opens with a tester against claycourter and defending Olympic gold medalist Nicolas Massu.

Last year Moya won his fifth Umag crown, defeating unseeded Romanian Andrei Pavel 6-4, 6-2 in the final.
