Powerful Mary Pierce got some of her toughness during a tremendous row with her father and coach, Jim Pierce, whose name has been stricken from the WTA media guide.

She fired him as coach in 1993, but he continued to stalk her and finally, the tour had to take action, banning him from even purchasing entry to her tournaments.

Since then, things have been relatively quiet. Pierce has twice achieved rank as high as No. 3.
