Pierce sticking with it
December 26, 2008, 5:36 AM /
Two-time Grand Slam champion Mary Pierce isn’t ready to hang up her racket just yet.
Despite being sidelined by a knee injury since 2006, the Frenchwoman told sports daily L’Equipe that she’d like to play again at the French Open.
Pierce, who turns 34 next month, won the French Open in 2000 and the Australian Open in 1995. She ruptured a ligament in her left knee during October 2006 in Linz, Austria, during a match and hasn’t competed since.
“I don’t feel it’s the right moment [to announce my retirement],” she told L’Equipe, adding that her left leg is weak but tests indicate her knee has recovered.
