Carlos Moya, who led Spain to victory over the United States in the Davis Cup last month, is skipping this year's event to concentrate on Grand Slam tournaments.

Moya said in a statement Wednesday he will rejoin the Spanish team next year if they will have him back. He is in Sydney preparing for next week's Australian Open.

"At age 29 I still have high hopes in my professional career, and this season I need to center those goals on specific dates and tournaments," Moya said in the statement.

Moya won both his Davis Cup singles matches, including one against Andy Roddick, to lead Spain to a 3-2 win in the championship.
