    Still think the second set is one of the highest quality sets in women’s tennis. The match could have been an all-time classic had Pierce took it into the third!

    Two of the greatest! What a tiebreak. I so wanted Mary to win a slam that year, she was fighting like hell in this match though a little unclutch. But what can you do with a grass goddess on the opposite side of the net? Venus was the fastest player on the tour, with the biggest ground game, longest reach, mentally tougher (saved match points to win this title), and was hitting record-breaking serves. She played all those set points flawlessly. Sometimes you just have to say 'too good.'

    Mary won the mixed doubles at Wimbledon that year too. It's one of the things that is rarely mentioned about Mary - she was a very good doubles player. She also won the French Open in women's doubles and was runner up at the Australian open.

      In Mary's career she have won two slams AO 1995 and RG 2000, runner up in three, AO 1997, RG 'n USO in 2005.
      I don't really follow double so I don't know her double accomplishments 😅

      @zeddeka Yes, Mary and Martina Hingis were a very good team. She also made the semifinals in doubles at the US Open with Barbara Schett.

      Mary Peirce was a beast. You don't have to mention her doubles accolades in order to build her up. Mary was no easy out for any "Great" . Venus, Serena, Steffi, they all had to fight like heck to overcome Mary's brilliant game. God bless Mary. She gave a lot to the game of tennis.

    This was a fantastic Wimbledon year with all the heavy hitting baseliners .. was also the year Justine henin choked in round 1 an it’s too bad she didn’t go deeper into the rounds so we could see some match ups as the draw was so packed that year that was the only aspect that was missing ..

      Just a sidenote on Mary my favorite Tennjs story she was playing at this club and the coach came over and says how long you’ve been playing and Mary says 45 minutes and the coach goes no I don’t mean today how long have you been playing in life and she goes 45 minutesand then took her on as a coach

      Well since you asked 6 months ago 😂, Mary had been Nike’s main female endorsee during the mid to late nineties with only herself and Monica Seles having their own Nike lines with everyone else in generic Nike outfits. At end of 2004 with Sharapova and Serena the offer given to Mary was not what she was used to so she declined the contract. She was working on her own line of outfits with designers that should have been debuted in 2007 but it was never to be. You’re welcome 😆 x
