yeah this is a bit silly, it's like asking if Greg Rusedski has reached his peak yet.

he should actually learn how to hit a backhand instead of running around every shot and hitting forehands.

Someone who was taught to play righty when he was little.

And it got him a Grand Slam, a Davis Cup title, and a brief number one ranking. I would say it worked out well.

He does know how to hit a backhand, slice or topspin. But it would downright stupid for him to play into his weakness (the backhand) when he can run around it and hit a forehand, especially since his footwork is pretty good when he does that.

He will win at least a masters series before its all said and done, his days of being a grandslam contender are over. I dont think he has the motivation and since the spot light is not on him anymore I think he just enjoys playing and traveling.

Moya has no chance in h*** of winning a Master's tournament. . I do agree with your last sentence, though.

I complement Moya. He's a guy who's seen the heights, and now is just living the life, making some scratch, and playing out the string. He's gone from an elite to a lunchpail. He's still fun to watch, lots of pace, good clothes, but there's not much "there" there. Following his lead is another guy who's mysteriously done, JC Ferrero, who has figured out that even without being a top 10 threat anymore, one can still make a nice living and see some nice places in this game.
