Moya beat Mardy Fish 6-0 6-3 but Britain's Andy Murray had a 20th birthday to forget as he was forced out with a painful wrist injury.
HAMBURG: Carlos Moya sped into the second round of the Hamburg Masters with a 6-0 6-3 victory over Mardy Fish on Tuesday but Britain's Andy Murray had a 20th birthday to forget as he was forced out with a painful wrist injury.
Murray looked well on course to match Moya's easy win as he took the first 12 points off Italian Filippo Volandri and extended his lead to 5-1 in their first-round match.
His tournament was over in the next game, however. The British world number 10 jarred his right wrist as he played a routine forehand and dropped his racket in pain.
After having his wrist strapped up he returned to the court but managed just two points before dropping his racket in agony again.
Murray was immediately taken to hospital for a scan, an ATP spokesman said.
The injury will be a worry for Murray with the French Open starting in less than two weeks and Wimbledon next month.
Volandri will go on to face Jose Acasuso of Argentina who beat Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-3 6-4 in an earlier match at the 2.1-million-euro clay-court tournament on Tuesday.
There was another surprise when Florian Mayer beat 13th seed Mikhail Youzhny 6-4 2-6 7-6, the German taking the decisive tie-break 7-5.
On a good day for Spain, 19-year-old qualifier Oscar Hernandez beat Benjamin Becker in a gruelling three-setter on the slow clay court to set up a clash with Rafael Nadal in the second round.
Later, in one of three second-round matches on Tuesday, another Spaniard, the 12th-seeded David Ferrer, saw off Robin Soderling of Sweden 1-6 6-3 6-2.
Top seeds Roger Federer and Nadal have byes through to the second round and will not be in singles action until Wednesday. Federer will take on Juan Monaco after the Argentine beat Dominik Hrbaty on Monday.
Nadal is on a 77-match winning streak but he expects a few difficulties against his countryman Hernandez, who looked full of promise as he kept the counter-punching Becker at bay in a 6-3 6-7 6-3 win that lasted more than three hours.
"It will be a difficult one," Nadal told reporters after practising on Tuesday.
"Every court is different and the first match is always hard."
