He made two doubles main draw appearance at the US Open, including in 1970 when he and Thomaz Koch reached the second round. Following his time on tour he began working as a tennis promotor back in Brazil, where he was the first to organise a local tennis circuit.[3] More recently he served as tournament director of the ATP Tour's Brasil Open.[4]
