Moya, who squeezed past number two Mark Philippoussis on Saturday to give himself a chance of sealing the year-end top spot, beat Mariano Zabaleta 6-3 6-4 in the Royal Guard Champions final in Santiago, Chile.

“For the first year to finish at number one is all I could hope for, it’s great,” said Moya. “I think this was my best match of the week today. I only lost two matches (this year) and I feel very happy with the tennis I have played in most of the events. I am fit, I am happy to be on the Tour and hopefully I will be playing for many years.”
