	BBC News \| TENNIS \| Something about Mary
		After being introduced to the game of tennis at the age of 10, Pierce became the youngest American to turn professional when she made her debut in March 1989 at the age of 14 years and two months - a record beaten by Jennifer Capriati a year later.
		But it is her emphatic victory at Roland Garros in 2000 that she is most likely to savour the longest, because it buries doubts about her ability, reconciles her with the French public and also closes a difficult chapter in her personal life.
		Pierce's well-documented and stormy relationship with her father, Jim, led to him being banned from WTA tour events from 1993-1998 for abusive behaviour.
