Har'el Levy (born August 5, 1978, in Kibutz Nahshonin, Israel) is a professional male tennis player.
Levy's best ranking was # 30 in the world in 2001.
Tennis career
Levy began playing tennis at age seven, and was forced to chose between tennis and soccer during his teenage years.
Levy turned pro in 1995.
His best results include beating Pete Sampras and Michael Chang, reaching the singles finals in Toronto Masters Series and Nottingham, and winning a doubles title in Newport, Rhode Island.
In 2005 he won the USTA Tulsa Challenger, beating Benedikt Dorsch of Germany, the reigning NCAA men’s singles champion, in a three-hour duel 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (6).
Levy suffered from an injury during his peak years and never recovered enough to play at the top level. He's been ranked between 100-300 since, and he's been mostly playing challenger tournaments.
Davis Cup
Levy played for Israel's Davis Cup team in 1998-2005, with an 18-11 record.
