Episode 4: Mary Pierce
As the youngest American to ever turn pro at the time, Mary Pierce’s entrée into tennis is the stuff of a Hollywood film. But it was her perseverance and belief that generated sustained results over the course of a Hall of Fame career.
In a wide-ranging and revealing conversation, Mary tells her story from how fate led her to pick up a racquet at age 10, to how she continues to give back to the sport today. Episode 4 of TennisWorthy details how Mary’s desire to be the best she could possibly be in everything she did and ability to focus on what she could control led to a positive focus.
Mary Pierce is a four-time Grand Slam champion, and the most recent French person, man or woman, to win the singles title at Roland Garros. In 2000, in addition to lifting the singles trophy, she teamed with Martina Hingis to win the French Open doubles title. She finished her career with 18 WTA singles titles and 10 doubles titles, and reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 3 in the world. In 2019, she became the fifth Frenchwoman inducted into the Hall of Fame.
