Harel Levy from Israel hits a backhand return yesterday at The $150,000 Vancouver Open at the Hollyburn Country Club in West Vancouver.
Harel lost to Go Soeda, the #2 ranked player in Japan in 3 sets. In the 2000 Canadian Open Harel reached the final before losing to Marat Safin.
In 2001 Harel had wins over Pete Sampras, Andy Roddick, Tim Henman and Nicolas Kiefer (Nicolas was just beaten by Rafael Nadal this past weekend in the Canadian Open final).
Canadian Olympian Svein Tuft pictured above led most of the men's 2008 Tour De Gastown, but it was Canadian Olympian Andrew Pinfold of Woodbridge, Ontario who captured the race in a sprint to the finish. Both riders
are Beijing bound
