Mary Take a Bow


Fun to see Mary Pierce relaxed and happy, even if she became a church fart. (Did Roberto Alomar drive her into Jesus’ arms?) She and Li Na will be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I., this weekend -- congrats to both!

Davenport, Pierce and Martinez Lead 2014 Tennis Hall of Fame Inductees


Three big female names from the '90s headed to Newport, R.I.

The Associated Press reports:
Major champions Lindsay Davenport, Mary Pierce and Conchita Martinez are among the International Tennis Hall of Fame nominees for 2014. The Hall also announced Thursday that coach Nick Bollettieri, wheelchair player Chantal Vandierendonck, executive Jane Brown Grimes and author and broadcaster John Barrett are up for election next year. Davenport won singles titles at the U.S. Open in 1998, Wimbledon in 1999 and the Australian Open in 2000. She was ranked No. 1 for a total of 98 weeks, finishing at that spot in 1998, 2001, 2004 and 2005. Pierce was singles champion at the 1995 Australian Open and the 2000 French Open. Martinez is the only Spanish woman to win Wimbledon, beating Martina Navratilova in the 1994 final.
Davenport always drove me mad because she seemed like she was every bit as good as the Williams sisters, but then her negative attitude/body language would creep in -- sometimes while she was winning -- and she would roll over and die. It got so frustrating that I stopped rooting for her. (What was the point?) Pierce was just a complete nut case, so I chose to appreciate it when she was "on" -- a true thing of beauty -- even when Steffi Graf was her occasional victim!
