Mary Pierce was born on January 15th, 1975, in Montreal, Canada while her mother was on a trip to the city. She never lived in Montreal but maintains an affinity with the people there whenever the WTA tour makes a stop for the Canadian Open. During her childhood, her father Jim initiated Pierce into the sport of tennis. With his guidance and prodding, she blossomed into a talented player, but the pressure to perform to his standard was intense. Pierce was raised in a sheltered environment, where her performance on the court was the sole barometer of her worth. Her father put everything he had into her success and as the stakes were raised, he supposedly became abusive. His behavior later got him expelled from the WTA tour and Pierce expelled him as coach after tiring of the emotional and physical abuse.
