Interesting to see the results from the Martins' twins in these ITFs.

I am guessing with their lack of competition that few have been clear what to expect.

Yes. The French girl she lost to so narrowly is the same age as Destinee, and made the quarter-finals of the recent national championships, losing her QF in a third-set tie-break 7-6(5), so VERY close to a semi-final. She's a good player.
