A first round win against the Englishmen CG Mase / Bernard Bernstein (England) and a fight-free advance in round two were enough for the doubles with Paul Flußmann to move into the semi-finals. Here, too, they lost against the eventual world champions Roland Jacobi / Dániel Pécsi (Hungary), so it was "only" enough for bronze.

At the next World Cup, in Stockholm in 1928 , he and the team reached the final against Hungary, which was lost again. In the individual he was eliminated by a defeat against Bedrich Fritz Nikodem (TCH). The doubles with Paul Flußmann defeated CG Mase / AE Stillwell (England) and Antonin Malecek / Erwin Fleischmann (TCH) and then failed in the quarterfinals to Charles Bull / Fred Perry (England).

In 1929 he did not win a medal. He was not used in the Austrian team. In the singles he won against Arturas Amonas (Lithuania) and then lost to Antonin Malecek (TCH).
