At 30, Pierce is enjoying her best results in five years. She was runner-up
at the French and U.S. Opens, won two titles, and will end the year at No. 5 in
the world, her highest ranking since 2000.
Mauresmo, 26, will rise to No. 3 when the WTA Tour rankings are released
Monday, behind No. 1 Lindsay Davenport and No. 2 Kim Clijsters.
Pierce lost just once in five matches in her first
appearance in the championships since 1999. She was runner-up in 1997; Mauresmo
finished second in the 2003 final.
