The team of Jesse Levine and Michael Shabaz were named top seeds Thursday evening for the USTA 18 doubles championships in Kalamazoo beginning Friday August 5, 2005. Earning the top spot gives the seventeen-year-olds the coveted slot in the exhibition playing against professionals Taylor Dent and Mark Philippoussis.

Levine and Shabaz returned from Junior Wimbledon last month with that prestigious title, their first Grand Slam championship.

Seeded second is the team of Alex Clayton and Donald Young. They reached the finals of the Italian Open this spring.

Marcus Fugate and Timothy Neilly received the third seed and the team of Mykyta Kryvonos and Denis Zivkovic is fourth.
