Daniel Prenn was born in Poland in 1904. From 1928 to 1932 he ranked as the top tennis player in Germany and he represented Germany in the Davis Cup.
With the rise of the Nazis to power, in 1933 Daniel Prenn was barred from competition. Soon thereafter he moved to Britain where he continued to play competitive tennis although not at the same level. He died in 1991.
