December 18, 2012 - 3:22 PM

TORONTO - It looks like Canada's tennis ranks are getting some reinforcements.

A Tennis Canada spokesman has confirmed that Jesse Levine is applying to tennis authorities to represent Canada rather than the U.S.

The 25-year-old Levine, currently ranked 104th in the world, was born in Ottawa but moved to the U.S. when he was 13.

The ATP lists his residence as Boca Raton, Fla.
