David Ferrer Ern is a Spanish professional tennis player. A threetime Davis Cup champion with Spain, Ferrer has won tournaments at all levels except at a Grand Slam, and currently has the 7th highest career prize money earnings of all time.
Ferrer was born in Xbia in the province of Alicante, but he moved to Gandia at age thirteen, followed two years later by a move to Barcelona to attend the Catalan Tennis Federation. He spent nine months at Equelite, Juan Carlos Ferreros Academy in Villena, before moving back to Xbia. During his time in the academy, the Spanish Federation chose to sponsor Tommy Robredo rather than him, forcing Ferrer on his own prior to turning professional.
