In 1990 he played doubles at the Lipton International Players Championships, one of the top tier tournaments now known as the Masters Series. His best performance in an ATP Tour tournament came at the 1990 Sanremo Open where he and partner Ola Jonsson were losing finalists.[1] He made the main draw of the men's doubles at the 1990 US Open partnering Tobias Svantesson. They lost in the first round to Royce Deppe and Bret Garnett.[2]
