As a 17-year-old, he won the 2005Wimbledon boys' doubles championship.

In June 2009, while representing the United States on tour, he scored his most significant victory to date, defeating world No. 24 (and former world No. 1)Marat Safin at Wimbledon. The following month he defeated the second top-50 player of his career, world No. 48Philipp Petzschner. His most significant achievement in doubles was making the finals in the 2009 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships, losing tothe Bryan brothers.

Early life

[edit]

Levine was born inOttawa, Ontario, and grew up in Ottawa'sCentrepointe neighbourhood.[5] His father Nathan had played tennis forPenn State.

Jesse attendedHillel Academy of Ottawa.[5][6][7] Off the court Levine, who isJewish, keepskosher at home, and he plays with aStar of David on his chain.[8][9] He can read and writeHebrew.[8] Levine, along withDudi Sela,Shahar Pe'er,Sharon Fichman, andCamila Giorgi is one of a number of young Jewish tennis players who are highly ranked.[10][11][12][13] "I have a lot of contact with the Israeli players, like Ram, Erlich, Sela, and Levy. They sometimes ask me when I will play for Israel in the Davis Cup", he said.[6] He also appreciates the Jewish fans who cheer for him. At one tournament, they cheered and shouted out encouragement such as: "Come on, man, your opponent hasn't even had his bar mitzvah yet!"[6]

As a youth, Levine took tennis lessons at the Ottawa Athletic Club.[13] He and his family moved to Florida in the US when he was 13 years old, because his younger brother Daniel suffers fromulcerative colitis and the year-round warm weather was much better for him.[14][15] Levine currently resides inBoca Raton, Florida.[16][17] He said in 2009 that he at that point considered himself "100% American", saying that if he were to playDavis Cup, it would be for the US.[15][18]

Junior tennis career

[edit]

In 2001 he defeatedDonald Young in the final of the U.S. Clay Court 14 Nationals.[19][20] He was trailing 0–5 in the final set when he came back for the win.[21]

In 2003 he won theUSTA boys 16s doubles championship with partner Jean Yves Aubone,[22] and the Eddie Herr International Boys under-16s singles title. He finished the year ranked 11th in the USTA boys' 16 division. In 2004 he won the Eddie Herr International Boys 18s doubles championship withMichael Shabaz, an Iranian-bornAssyrian-American.

At the 2005 USTA Junior Nationals, where he lost in the singles semifinals and doubles finals, both 7–6 in the third set, he was judged to have the best service return.[23] He won the2005 Wimbledon boys' doubles championship along with Michael Shabaz overSamuel Groth of Australia and Andrew Kennaugh of Great Britain.[5][9][24] "If you believe in yourself anything can happen", said Levine.[9] He also reached the quarterfinals of the Junior Wimbledon boys' singles tournament that year.[5] Levine was selected to go to the 2005Maccabiah Games just after winning the doubles, but decided against it as he was too tired.[8] He finished 2005 ranked 23rd in the USTA national junior rankings.[25]

He was the runner-up at the 2006 U.S. Junior National Championship to world No. 1 Junior Donald Young, forfeiting in the finals due tofood poisoning.[26] He was voted as having the bestbackhand.[23]

His highestInternational Tennis Federation World Junior Ranking was No. 14[2] (with a 61–27 singles win–loss record and a 61–22 doubles win–loss record).

Junior Slam results – Singles:

Australian Open: 1R (2005)
French Open: 3R (2005)
Wimbledon: QF (2005)
US Open: 2R (2005)

He attended Boca Prep International School on a soccer scholarship for a year and a half and switched to theUniversity of Miami Online High School, where he was class of 2007.[27][28][29] The online school offered an academic program for athletes who were too busy to attend traditionalbricks-and-mortar high schools.[27] Levine did most of his junior training at theEvert Tennis Academy in Boca Raton, which is adjacent to Boca Prep (where he received the senior male sportsmanship award fromChris Evert and was named the academy's Male Player of the Year by his peers),[29][30] and the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy inBradenton, Florida for two years, and then decided to go to college.[2][5][31]

College career (2007)

[edit]

Levine enrolled in theUniversity of Florida in Gainesville, Florida during the spring of 2007, and played for theFlorida Gators men's tennis team. He subsequently withdrew from the university in August 2007 to turn pro.

Singles

[edit]

Levine was 24–1 playing No. 1 singles for the Gators as a freshman.[2][32] He won all but 3 of his matches in straight sets.[33]

In March 2007 he beat 6' 9", 236 poundJohn Isner, a senior atUniversity of Georgia who was then the No. 1 player in college tennis, who had been undefeated in his prior 46 matches, and who did not lose another regular-season match all season.[34][35] On May 23, 2007, Levine lost his first college match, in the quarterfinals in theNCAA Men's Singles toWashington's Alex Slovic.[36] He was ranked # 3 in singles by the NCAA in the final May 2007 standings, only because he did not have as many matches against ranked opponents as the top two players (Isner andSomdev Devvarman), and he was the only freshman in the top 22.[35][37]

Doubles

[edit]

Levine also played No. 1 doubles for the Gators with junior Greg Ouellette, and the duo was 21–3 in 2007, rising to # 3 in the final NCAA rankings.[34][38] Levine and Ouellette were defeated in the quarterfinals of the 2007 NCAA Men's Doubles championships by the eventual winners,Middle Tennessee State's Marco Born and Andreas Siljestrom.[39]

He also received awild card into theBMW Tennis Championship, where he lost 6–7(4–7), 6–7(3–7), toGaël Monfils.

In July 2007 Levine travelled toDubai when top-rankedRoger Federer invited him there to practice for 10 days.[42] "I thought it was a joke ... I thought it was one of my college buddies playing a prank on me, but it was for real", Levine said.[43] Twice he and Federer played match sets, both of which Federer won, 6–4.[44]

I had an unbelievable season, but in order to take tennis to the next level, I have to keep playing guys at the top level. College tennis is amazing, but I feel my game is ready.

—Levine

Levine left college prior to play as a wildcard at the 2007 U.S. Open, his first professional tournament as a professional.[45] He was defeated by world # 4Nikolay Davydenko in the first round, 4–6, 0–6, 1–6.[46] "I was really nervous", Levine said, "but it was an amazing experience."[47] In doubles, however, he won his first round match, pairing withAlex Kuznetsov, overDominik Hrbatý of Slovakia andHarel Levy of Israel, 6–1, 6–4, and their second round match upsetting 7th-seeded FrenchmenArnaud Clément andMichaël Llodra 7–6(7–5), 6–4, before losing in the third round to 9th-seeded CzechsLukáš Dlouhý andPavel Vízner, 4–6, 5–7.

In November 2007, Levine won his first pro title, the $75,000Music City Challenger inNashville, Tennessee, along the way beating world # 109Robert Kendrick of the US, 7–5, 6–4, # 148Sam Warburg of the US, 4–6, 6–3, 6–3, and # 170Dušan Vemić of Serbia, 6–2, 7–5. "That first pro title was a big deal for me", Levine said. "I called my parents to tell them I'd won. I was pretty excited."[21]

That same month, Levine won the $50,000JSM Challenger inChampaign, Illinois, at theUniversity of Illinois. In the second round he defeated # 197 Kevin Kim, 6–1, 7–5, and in the semifinals he again beat Isner, now world # 118, this time 7–6(7–5), 6–3. In the finals Levine topped Donald Young (world # 106), 7–6(7–4), 7–6(7–4); he did not lose a set all week, and moved up in the rankings to # 192 in the world.[48]

Still later in November, he began the $50,000 Knoxville Challenger tournament inTennessee by defeating former US Junior championMichael McClune, 6–4, 6–1, in the first round,[19] but three rounds later lost to Kevin Kim in the semifinals.[49] The loss broke Levine's 16-match winning streak.[50]

In early December, he andAndy Roddick defeated Robert Kendrick andAmer Delic 7–6, 6–4, in a fast-paced match onHar-Tru at the OMNI Healthcare/Harris "Rally with Roddick" charity tennis exhibition inIndian Harbour Beach.[51]

In late December Levine won awild card berth into the main draw of the Australian Open. He won the spot by defeatingWayne Odesnik and Kuznetsov in around-robin tournament format.[52][53] "It definitely feels good not having it just handed out", Levine said after defeating Odesnik 6–4, 6–0. He trained and played sets withMax Mirnyi,Xavier Malisse,Andy Murray, andTommy Haas. Levine played qualifying in a couple of pre-Grand Slam tournaments inAdelaide and Sydney. He still flewcoachDown Under. "I'll have to make a lot more money before I can gofirst class", he said.[54]

Levine ended the year with a 20–10 match record, and ranked # 192.[2]

2008

[edit]

That's nothing I can control. I have to come up with other things like my speed, and my conditioning, take their legs from them. They've got bigger legs . ... Me, I'm just a little guy running around trying to make every ball.

—Levine, responding to a comment that just about every player out there is far bigger and stronger than he is.[14]

In January 2008, at theAustralian Open, Levine beatMartín Vassallo Argüello of Argentina, a 26-year-old veteran ranked # 77 in the world, to advance to the Open's second round. There, Levine played a scrappy match against fellow lefty, No. 24 seedJarkko Nieminen. But despite serving for the set at 5–3 in both the second and third sets, Levine went down 2–6, 5–7, 6–7(2–7) to the Finn.[55] "I felt like I was right there, and definitely had my chances in the second and third (sets). I have to work on converting a little better", said Levine. "Maybe I got a little too antsy, and tried to go for a little too much, maybe stepped too hard on the pedal instead of taking a foot off."[14]

At the personal request ofU.S. Davis Cup captainPatrick McEnroe, Levine was a practice partner with the U.S.Davis Cup team in early February in Austria, hitting withAndy Roddick,James Blake, and twinsBob Bryan andMike Bryan.[14][56][57] "First of all, he's a lefty, but also, Jesse has shown a lot of promise since last summer, improved his ranking a lot, and he's a great kid and incredibly hard worker", McEnroe said. "Our guys have a good read on which young guys are working really hard, and they were pushing to invite Jesse. It will be a great experience for him, and he'll help our guys a lot."[57] "One day I played four sets. It was a lot of fun, but my body was sore", Levine said. "The guys are so cool."[58]

In February Levine defeated # 81-rankedSteve Darcis of Belgium in the first round of the San Jose Open, 6–3, 2–6, 6–4, before losing to James Blake in the second round.[58] In May he won all five of his matches, dropping only one set, to win the Bradenton, Florida Challenger event. He also won theTürk Telecom İzmir Cup challenger tournament in doubles in Turkey, with partnerKei Nishikori of Japan.

When you make the top 100, it really changes everything. And I feel like I'm just on the other side, knocking.

—Levine, after winning his first round match at Wimbledon in 2008, to rise to # 124 in the world rankings.[59]

In June atWimbledon, after qualifying by winning three matches, and then getting "shivers" on his arms as he walked out for his opening match, he beat world # 85 Donald Young in the first round, 4–6, 6–2, 6–3, 6–4.[60] It was the first four-set match he had ever played. The key was Levine's persistent net play; he approached net 32 times, winning 25 of the points.[61] In the next round he lost, in his first five-set match ever, toJürgen Melzer 6–4, 2–6, 6–3, 4–6, 1–6.[8][62]

In July in Newport on the grass courts at theInternational Tennis Hall of Fame, he beat No. 5 seeded, world # 83 John Isner 6–3, 6–1.[63] Later in the month he beatBenjamin Becker of Germany, 6–3, 3–6, 7–6(8–6), at theRogers Cup in Toronto.[64] In August at theNew Haven, Connecticut International Series, he beat world # 67Guillermo García López of Spain 6–0, 6–3, and world # 61 Steve Darcis, 2–0, retired. He broke into the top 100, at 96, on August 25.[2]

In October Federer again invited Levine to join him for an extended practice session in Dubai, as preparation for the Australian Open.[65]

2009

[edit]
Levine at the 2009 US Open

In April at theUS Men's Clay Court Championships inHouston, Texas, Levine, ranked 289th in doubles in the world, and doubles partnerRyan Sweeting from the Bahamas, ranked 405th in doubles, made it into the draw via wild card, and in the first round defeated 3rd-seeded world doubles # 40Lucas Arnold Ker and world doubles # 61Martin Damm, 6–2, 6–4. In the quarterfinals they beat world doubles # 66Jaroslav Levinský and # 82Pavel Vízner, 7–6(8–6), 6–4, and in the semifinals they defeated 2nd-seeded world doubles # 30Ashley Fisher and # 29Jordan Kerr 3–6, 6–3, [10–4].

Levine qualified for the main draw atWimbledon 2009, after defeating AustralianSamuel Groth 6–4, 6–7(3–7), 7–5, GermanDieter Kindlmann 6–2, 6–3, and GermanMatthias Bachinger 6–2, 7–5, 6–2.[66]

In the first round of the main Wimbledon draw, in the biggest win of his career Levine upset world # 24 (and former world # 1, and two-timeGrand Slam champion)Marat Safin of Russia 6–2, 3–6, 7–6(7–4), 6–4.[15] Levine was ranked 133rd going into the tournament.[67]The Guardian described Levine as "a feisty little terrier who kept harrying away at his towering opponent",[68] andThe New York Times noted that "If you stand them side by side" Levine and Safin "look a little likeDavid and Goliath. Levine ... is seven inches (178 mm) shorter and 45 pounds lighter than Safin, but when it counted ... the American was faster and stronger."[67] When Levine clinched the win he looked up and pointed into the sky in acknowledgement of his grandmother Lillian Kimmel, who had died three years prior.[17][69] Safin said that he had known before the match that Levine was a "talented lefty, tough player, fast ... gonna go for it. He's a tough one."[70]

In the second round Levine defeated Uruguay's top tennis player,Pablo Cuevas, 6–2, 6–1, 4–6, 4–6, 6–3.[71] "I think my win the other day against Marat really gave me a confidence booster", he said.[71] It was Levine's first five-set victory, and only his second five-set match.[69] "I could have played a little bit longer", he said, "But I'm glad I didn't have to."[27] Levine andAndy Roddick were the only two American men left standing in the tournament, and Levine was also by far the lowest-ranked player left in the men's draw.[28] Levine next faced Olympic gold medalist, world # 18, 19th seedStanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland, in Levine's first trip to the third round in a Grand Slam.[27][69][71][72] "Once again I'm the underdog", said Levine." "I've got nothing to lose, so I'll go out there swinging away.[69] For the first set and a half of their match, Levine (described byThe Sunday Times as having "the pugnacity ofJimmy Connors and the fashion sense ofEminem") looked as though it was he who was the top 20 player, as he hit low forehands and approached and dominated the net, but in the end Wawrinka prevailed, 7–5, 5–7, 3–6, 3–6, despite Levine saving 17 of 23 break points in the match.[73][74][75][76]

Levine next played in theHall of Fame Tennis Championships in Newport, Rhode Island, making it as far as the quarterfinals, and along the way upsetting sixth-seeded world # 48 GermanPhilipp Petzschner, 7–6(7–3), 6–2.[77] It was his second win over a top-50 player in three weeks.

In late July Levine qualified for the2009 Indianapolis Tennis Championships in singles.[78] In doubles Levine partnered IsraeliDudi Sela, and defeatedDenis Istomin of Uzbekistan andJosselin Ouanna of France 6–4, 6–4 to make it to the quarterfinals.[79]

Levine applied to theInternational Tennis Federation in late 2012 to represent Canada in future Davis Cup play.[92]

2013

[edit]

Levine started his season inBrisbane where he qualified, but lost in the first round toAlejandro Falla.[93] He played his first official tournament as a Canadian inAuckland, where he qualified for the main draw of an ATP tournament for the second straight week. He made it to the quarterfinals, after wins over local playerDaniel King-Turner andBrian Baker, before losing toSam Querrey.[94] At theAustralian Open, Levine defeated former world No. 5Tommy Robredo in the first round, but lost to 14th-seedGilles Simon in the next round.[95]

Levine was defeated by Japan'sKei Nishikori in the first round of theFrench Open.[96] AtWimbledon, he made it to the second round with a five-set victory overGuido Pella in his opening match, before losing to world No. 8Juan Martín del Potro in the next round.[97] Levine reached the second round at theRogers Cup in August as a wildcard, but was defeated byRafael Nadal.[98]

Beginning in the spring of 2013 during grass court season, Levine began suffering from an elbow problem and numbness in his pinky finger.[99] The problem continued for over a year.[99] He stopped playing tennis after the Rogers Cup to rehab his elbow, which was first diagnosed as golfer's elbow, and had non-invasive surgery in the fall of 2013.[99]

2014

[edit]

Levine's elbow problem continued into 2014.[99] By July 2014 he was back to hitting on practice courts, and though his elbow was troubling him when serving he trained during the summer withAndy Murray.[99] He was chosen as a hitting partner for Canada's Davis Cup team in September.[99] However, when he attempted to come back in October after not playing competitively for 11 months, the problem recurred and was re-aggravated during a match in Houston.[99][100] Levine was scheduled to have surgery in October 2014, eitherTommy John surgery or a different surgery to move hisulnar nerve and thus relieve the numbness in his little finger.[101]

Levine retired at the end of 2014 due to an elbow injury.[102]

Accolades

[edit]

In 2017, Levine was inducted into the Ottawa Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.[103]

Style of play

[edit]

Among his strengths as a player are that he is extremely fast and explosive, "quick-footed" with "great feet", "a superb forehand", and whatJohn McEnroe has referred to as "great racket speed"; he is "a hard worker and a natural leader."[21][35][104][105] He also runs everything down.[106] "He's got a great heart", saidLarry Stefanki, who coachedAndy Roddick and has previously worked with John McEnroe,Marcelo Ríos,Fernando González andTim Henman. "A lot of players today are fast and fit, but just don't seem to play every point at 100%. It's like they're almost on cruise control and then want to play hard when it gets to 4-all or 5-all", Stefanki said.

When he hears that he's too small, not big enough, well, he just never listened. He says, 'I'm going to play this game.'

—Nathan Levine, Jesse's father[21]

"I think because Jesse's so small and he doesn't want to give any free points, he tries every point 100%. That's a big asset out there."[107] At 5' 9" and 150 pounds, Levine is smaller than most professional tennis players.[21]

Personal

[edit]

Levine had aGerman Shepherd dog, named "Sarite".[108] He is also good friends with CanadianNHL ice hockey centreJason Spezza and a big fan of theOttawa Senators andMiami Dolphins.[citation needed] On April 28, 2014 Jesse was made an honorary brother of theAlpha Epsilon Pi fraternity.[2][109]
