Mary was just two points away from taking Venus into the third set, which to this day, I'm not sure she would have won.
It was Mary's wonderful farewell to the Wimbledon tournament.
Enjoy!

Still think the second set is one of the highest quality sets in women’s tennis. The match could have been an all-time classic had Pierce took it into the third!

Mary won the mixed doubles at Wimbledon that year too. It's one of the things that is rarely mentioned about Mary - she was a very good doubles player. She also won the French Open in women's doubles and was runner up at the Australian open.

In Mary's career she have won two slams AO 1995 and RG 2000, runner up in three, AO 1997, RG 'n USO in 2005. I don't really follow double so I don't know her double accomplishments 😅

Two of the greatest! What a tiebreak. I so wanted Mary to win a slam that year, she was fighting like hell in this match though a little unclutch. But what can you do with a grass goddess on the opposite side of the net? Venus was the fastest player on the tour, with the biggest ground game, longest reach, mentally tougher (saved match points to win this title), and was hitting record-breaking serves. She played all those set points flawlessly. Sometimes you just have to say 'too good.'

This was a fantastic Wimbledon year with all the heavy hitting baseliners .. was also the year Justine henin choked in round 1 an it’s too bad she didn’t go deeper into the rounds so we could see some match ups as the draw was so packed that year that was the only aspect that was missing ..
