In the round of 16, Moore dominated third seed Brian Gallant, 6-1, 6-0 to move on to the quarterfinals, where another tough opponent was waiting for him - fifth seed Salomon Bendavid. Moore won that match in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2.
As Moore went into the semifinals, he was set to face second seed Simon Tremblay-Larouche, who was a star at the University of Arkansas. Unfortunately for Moore, he lost the match 7-6, 6-3.

It's pretty neat to see stories like this, where either current or former players are competing in other sports at a high level. Another example of this came earlier this summer when Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller was attempting to qualify for the U.S. Open Golf Championship.
