Mary dreams merry return
MELBOURNE. Jan 19: Mary Pierce, unseeded at a Grand Slam event for the first time since 1991. is hoping to emulate
the deeds of Andre Agassi as she bids for a second major at this year's Australian Open, reports
Agassi arrived at the 1994 US Open unseeded after recovering form a wrist injury. He left as the first unseeded winner
since Fred Stollr in 1966
Pierce, champion in Melbourne two years ago but beaten in the second round in 1996. is again making her mark at the years first Grand Slam tournament.
The French right-hander advanced to the quarterfinals Sunday with a 6-2. 6-3 win over fifth-seeded German Anke Hu ber
"Let's hope so." said Pierce, last unseeded at a Grand Slam at the 1991 US Open, when
asked about parallels with Agassi s run
"It's just a weird feeling. It (being unseeded) is kind of dif ferent. But I accepted it and I knew that it was going to happen while I was taking time off. that I d lose some points.'
Pierce, who turned 22 Wednesday climbed as high as No. 3 in the world in 1995? but injury and poor form last year saw her ranking fall to No. 20 at year s end.
Now ranked No. 22. she made the final at Amelia Island and the quarterfinals at Wimbledon during 1996 but struggled elsewhere, missing the US Open with a sore right shoulder.
A low point came when Pierce was jeered by fans at the French Open after her third-round exit.
She took October and November off and spent the time relaxing and training in Paris, before moving to Florida to prepare for 1997.
Pierce arrived in Melbourne with a new attitude and looking fit and happy. She has been seen during the first week of the Open taking in city nightspots.
"I guess you could say I'm using my time smarter." Pierce said. "Getting my mind off tennis a little bit. to stay fresh and stay eager.
"The three months I had off at the end of last year was definitely a benefit, resting my mind and my body, healing my shoulder and being able to work out hard physically."
Not even an umpire's warning for wasting time between points could sour her win.
The player has said It is unintentional but that she needs time to prepare herself for the next point.
Huber admitted she found it difficult.
"You know it before you play her." said Huber. "She takes a lot of time and you can still get crazy on the other side, yes."
Pierce beat Huber in the same round at the 1995 Australian Open before going on to beat Arantxa Sanchez Vicario of Spain in the final.
