Moya, a member of Spain’s 2004 winning Davis Cup team, finished first in the ATP Champion’s Tour 2011 final rankings.

The Spaniard will play fellow Grand Slam champion Pat Cash in the opening match of the 2012 ITC. Reserved and box seats are 50 percent off for Opening Night, with Ivan Lendl meeting Jimmy Arias in the nightcap.
