David Mercer, tennis commentator[edit]

Tennis commentator David Mercer started his career as a solicitor and ran his own firm in Swansea for nine years.

He started working as a freelance in sports broadcasting for BBC Wales in 1979.

For a time he combined his legal practice with BBC work and public relations duties for the Law Society.

Tennis is his main sport - he won the Welsh Junior Doubles in 1968 and had the distinction of umpiring the Connors-McEnroe Wimbledon final of 1984.

He has also commentated on a variety of other sports, from football and rowing to skiing and American football.

Away from work, David is a keen sportsman, playing racquet sports, rugby, football and cricket.

Mr.Mercer commentates for a number of TV channels in addition to the BBC, including Eurosport.

The text in the preceding comment appears to be quoted (or more or less quoted) from the linked BBC page. Presumably the previous poster was suggesting there could be an entry for David Mercer (tennis commentator)? - Cucamber (talk) 19:18, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
