Mary Pierce (born January 15, 1975, in Montreal, Canada) is a professional tennis player. She has appeared in six Grand Slam singles finals during her career – winning two of them – and also claimed two Grand Slam doubles titles. Pierce was born in Montreal while her French mother and American father were on a trip to the city, but she has never lived in Canada. She was raised in the United States and lives in Bradenton, Florida, but also has French citizenship and has represented France in international tennis competitions, apparently due to her disappointment with the American Federation of Tennis in its preferential treatment and sponsoring of Jennifer Capriati as an up and coming youth player. |
