Mary Pierce




Mary Pierce (born on 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. With her tall, lanky frame, Pierce has also had a secondary occupation as an occasional fashion model.
Pierce was born in Montreal while her French mother and American father were on a trip to the city. She was raised in the United States and lives in Sarasota, Florida. Thus, she has had or has been eligible for United States, Canadian, and French citizenship, and she has represented France in international tennis competitions many times. She speaks English and French fluently.
