Pierce was born in Montreal while her French mother and American father were on a trip to the city. She was raised in the United States and lives in Florida, thus she has had or has been eligible for United States, Canadian, and French citizenship, and she has represented France in international tennis competitions many times.
Pierce was introduced to tennis at the age of 10 by her father Jim Pierce. Just two years later, she won the US national 12 and-under junior title. In 1989, she became the youngest American player to make her debut on the professional tour, aged 14 years and 2 months.
In 1994, Pierce reached her first Grand Slam final at the French Open in record-breaking style. She became first player to reach championship's fourth round while dropping only two games. She conceded just 10 games during her route to the final, which included a 6-2, 6-2 thrashing of World No. 1 Steffi Graf in the semifinals. However, in the final, Pierce lost 6-4, 6-4 to Arantxa Snchez Vicario.
