After holding the USTA No. 1 Singles ranking in Florida in the 10, 12 and 14-year-old girls divisions, Martinez now competes in the 16-under division.

She’s already ranked fifth in the state and 113th nationally — and those rankings could increase quickly. Martinez plans to enter three ITF tournaments this spring, including Delray Beach April 27-May 4.

“She has the potential of becoming top 100 (in the pro rankings),” Rincon, tennis director at Magnolia Lakes Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie, said of her future.

5/9/2019

Jensen Beach's doubles team of Ellie Schoppe and Madison Dennett proved they were the best in the state and did so in dominant fashion.
Schoppe and Dennett won the Class 3A state championship on Friday at Sanlando Park in Altamonte Springs, beating Gulf Coast's Emma Heiderscheit and Zoe Rosu 6-2, 6-2 in the final.
"It was well deserved," Jensen Beach coach Lisa Thiesen said. "They both are hard workers, they both love it and it was nice to see them rewarded with that state championship."

Schoppe, a junior, and Dennett, a sophomore, went through the season without losing a set.
The Falcons doubles team was the No. 1-seeded team in the state tournament. Schoppe and Dennett beat Gulf Breeze's Sachi Marshall and Callie Mitchell 6-0, 6-0 in the quarterfinals, Viera's Amanda Sedaros and Eve Wasil 6-2, 6-0 in the semifinals and Venice's Jia Johnson and Laura Kulcsar 6-0, 6-1 in the final of the individual bracket to advance to the state championship match.
