Jesse Levine is on Florida's roster and attending classes, but he may not make the Gators first dual match Wednesday night. This story details his success in the qualifying rounds at the ATP Delray Beach International Tennis Championships, and in the convoluted format that they are experimenting with there (can you tell I'm not a fan?), I think he's advanced to the round robin portion of the competition.
According to this ATP website story, both Levine and Sam Querrey have gotten through the "main draw elimination" phase of the event, and will join the likes of James Blake and Tommy Haas in round robin play. Querrey absolutely crushed Konstantinos Economidis of Greece, losing only two games, while Levine had little difficulty with Poland's Lukasz Kubot. Levine's 6-3, 6-2 victory was his first win at the ATP level.
Andy Jackson spoke to the media in his weekly press conference, but no one asked him how Levine's wins might affect the likelihood of his remaining in school. The fact that the Gators were given the top spot among all the 2007 recruiting classes didn't figure in the conversation either. Jackson certainly can't be happy about the Delray tournament's website referring to Levine as the "former University of Florida star." Ouch.
