Harel Levy ((ヘブライ語:הראל לוי); born August 5, 1978 in Kibbutz Nahshonim, Israel) is a retired Israeli professional male tennis player. He reached the final of the 2000 Toronto Masters and achieved a career-high singles ranking of World No. 30 (June 2001), with his best doubles ranking being World No. 71 in May 2008. Levy was a key factor in Israel's semifinal run in the 2009 Davis Cup. Levy, Noam Okun, and Dudi Sela have been Israel's top singles players over the last few years, and are among a number of Jewish professional tennis players.〔[http://www.ajn.com.au/news/news.asp?pgID=4744 Levi, Joshua, "Israeli star trains at Maccabi courts," ''date=April 2010}}]''," 1/10/08, accessed 6/4/09〕 In a career interrupted by both Israeli Army service and serious hip surgery, Levy notably scored victories over Pete Sampras, Andy Roddick, Michael Chang and Wayne Ferreira. As well as reaching the singles final of the 2000 Toronto Masters, he finished runner-up at Nottingham in 2001 and won a doubles title in Newport, Rhode Island. ==Tennis career== Levy began playing tennis at age seven. His family moved to Portugal for a year and half when he was nine years old. They returned to Israel, and in 1992 the family moved to Ramat Hasharon so he could train at the ITC Champions )dead link" TITLE="Israel Tennis Centers there.〔(ITC Champions )dead link">date=March 2010}}〕 That year, he was # 1 in the under-14 age group in Israel. Told that younger Jewish players look up to him, Levy said: "It's nice to hear that. I want to represent Israel and the Jewish people the best I can. I play for myself first. But then whatever my play can do for the Jewish community is great — just great."〔cite web 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harel Levy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
