Born in Roodepoort, Bertram was active in tennis during the 1930s and 1940s. His game was based on a strong forehand drive, similar in style to Bill Johnston.[2] In 1932 he won the singles title at the South African Championships, where he was also runner-up three times. He toured Europe in 1935 and represented South Africa in a Davis Cup tie against Czechoslovakia in Prague, featuring as well at the French Championships and Wimbledon.[3]
Bertram's son Byron twice won the Wimbledon junior title and played on the professional tour.[4]
