Thanks to a hip-bone injury.
Former men's tennis No.1 Carlos Moya has put his career on hold for an "indefinite time" because of a hip-bone injury.
Moya, currently ranked 45th in the ATP standings, said: "It's a real hammer blow. I wasn't expecting this and it has put a halt to all my plans.
"I have had pains over the last few months but we were hoping that it wasn't serious and that I could resume tennis little by little."
The 32-year-old is suffering from a lesion to a tendon and ischium on his hip-bone and will not be able to compete in the upcoming Indian Wells and Miami tournaments while he awaits test results.
"It's still too early to know when I'll be able to return to competition," he said. "It's certain that I want to return but only when I'm firing at 100 per cent physically and mentally."
Moya, who turned professional in 1995, is a claycourt specialist who won the French Open in 1998 and peaked as world No.1 in March 1999.
