Raymond J. "Ray" Moore (born 24 August 1946) is a former professional tennis player from South Africa.

In June 1966 he won the East Gloucestershire Championships at Cheltenham on grass, defeating Tom Okker and Dick Crealy in the final two rounds.

In May 1969, Moore won the West Berlin Open Championships, defeating Arthur Ashe and Cliff Drysdale in close five-set matches.

During his career he won eight doubles titles in the Open Era alone, finishing runner-up an additional 12 times in Open Era doubles.

Moore participated in 12 Davis Cup ties for South Africa from 1967 to 1977, including the 1974 South African victory, posting a 12–10 record in singles and posting an 0–1 mark in doubles.

In 1981, Moore teamed with Charlie Pasarell to begin the tournament that eventually became the Indian Wells Masters at the Indian Wells Gardens. They started at La Quinta Resort and Club, moved to Grand Champions Hotel, and then in 2000 opened the new Indian Wells Gardens, which holds the ATP Masters BNP Paribus Open. Moore and Pasarell sold the tournament to Larry Ellison in 2009 and Moore became the tournament director/CEO for the new owner.

Remarks on female tennis and resignation

On 22 March 2016, Moore resigned as CEO of the Indian Wells Masters tennis tournament, after drawing outrage over his remarks about the roles of women in tennis:^[1]^[2]

"They don't make any decisions, and they are lucky. They are very, very lucky…If I was a lady player, I'd go down every night on my knees and thank God that Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal were born, because they have carried this sport. They really have." ^[3]^[4]^[2]
