Mary Pierce, 35, tells L'Equipe that she can now play tennis without pain but a comeback is doubtful.
However, Pierce said she would like to at least play an exhibition at Roland Garros in order to say to say goodbye to the public. The former Roland Garros champion suffered a terrible knee injury in the fall of 2006 and hasn’t played since then.
"At 35 years old I am ready to make all the sacrifices? I don't know,” she said. “What I miss is playing on center court in front of a lot of people, experiencing something with the public. It's the only thing that could motivate me."—M.C.
