Playing as a qualifier, Moir managed to reach the third round of the US Open in 1984.[4] He defeated top 100 player Sammy Giammalva, Jr in the opening round and then won in a walkover against countryman Kevin Curren, who withdrew with a sprained ankle before the match.[5] In the third round, Moir met top seed and eventual champion John McEnroe. The American won in straight sets.[4]
