　“i was extremely lucky to win today,” moya said. “it's a great way to start the year.”

　moya, the 1998 french open champion, twice broke paradorn when the thai player served for the match in the last set.

　paradorn, who's ranked 27th but was seeded second behind moya, is now 0-3 against the spaniard.

　“i had a chance, but just couldn't make it,” paradorn said. “but making the final again was great.”
