I never thought she was the best athlete but she was a true student of the game. To hear her story of how she got into tennis is incredible. Makes me admire her even more for her drive to succeed. You are amazing Mary Pierce no joke.
I have watched almost all her tennis matches on TV n what a wonderful n charming character she had been on and off the court...Always smiling even she lost some..great character n we are lucky to have her at Hyderabad long ago...I have great admiration to MP...God bless you...Now I am watching her old tennis videos ...
Wished she would have talked more about her abusive father. For those of you young people out there, if you have an abusive parent in sport, you do not have to take it. Call a help line and authorities if necessary. Mary was lucky but many others were not.
Didn't her father stalk her? They used to have his picture up at her matches for security to know he's not allowed near her. I'm reasonably certain it was an SI article.
I dont believe that part when she said she got a pat on the back and the guy laughed at her oh maybe a couple of round i feel she just want to make her story more credible not feeling its the truth .
There are big chunks of the story I do not believe to be fully true. I don't believe she is of a modest background. Maybe they weren'y billionaires but there must have been money to spend especially as her best friend played tennis. Kids normally hang out with other kids of equal income groups.And of course she spoke at least done French as her mother is French. And coaches don't send anyone to others after hittong one shot. Everything was "difficult". I don't believe it.
Mary Pierce one of my girl crushes in tennis. I love her! I'm so happy she shared her story.
Best speaker
Beautiful.

True Champion. Grace and Humility at all times.
Mary!!! You forgot to mention that you also got to the finals of the US Open and the Masters in 2005!!!

Well, people didn’t believe she could make more than a few rounds.... why would that be made up?
