Krakow, Poland
For two seasons (1967–1968) he was Poland's best junior, but he started to achieve further successes only a decade later, because he practically suspended his senior career for 5 years, focusing on obtaining a higher education. Another thing is that in his time we had a flood of great players - Fibak, Nowicki, Niedźwiedzki, Drzymalski - who are remembered more today. Meanwhile, Meres lost to Fibak only once, and never to Niedźwiedzki.
Six-time Polish champion (once in a single on open courts and once in a team). He made his international debut in his thirties, just before retirement, and smoothly transitioned to coaching others, quickly becoming a DVD captain. Later, among others At the junior age he trained the Russian Nadia Pietrowa, who lived in Poland at that time (Roland Garros U18 won), as well as the national team of wheelchair tennis players.
