She reached the second round of the 2008 Australian Open after defeating Julie Ditty. There she lost to Israeli 17th seed Shahar Pe'er, 6–0, 7–5. This made her the youngest Australian to win a match at the Australian Open since Jelena Dokic in 1999

Moore also reached the final of the 2008 Australian Open Girls' Singles, in which she lost to Arantxa Rus. She was the first Australian to make the final in 13 years.

After recovering from a shoulder injury, Moore won both the French Open and Wimbledon Junior Doubles titles with Slovenia's Polona Hercog.

At the final Grand Slam of the season, Moore reached the second round of the 2008 US Open after defeating American wildcard Melanie Oudin 7–6(5), 7–6(5). However, she lost in the second round to Anna Lena Groenfeld of Germany 6–1, 6–3.
