WIMBLEDON, England(AP) American qualifier Jesse Levine has reached the third round at Wimbledon by defeating Pablo Cuevas of Uruguay in five sets.
Levine, of Boca Raton, Fla., won 6-2, 6-1, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 on Thursday. He had never advanced past the second round at any Grand Slam tournament.
The 21-year-old Levine is ranked 133rd and is the last qualifier left in the men's draw.
Levine entered Wimbledon with an 0-2 record in tour-level matches in 2009. But he upset two-time major champion Marat Safin in the first round, before getting past the 125th-ranked Cuevas, who lost in qualifying but got into the main event when someone withdrew.
