About

The following is an English translation of the Wikipedia entry in Czech on Pavel Macenauer. The original text can be accessed here: Pavel Macenauer – Wikipedie

Pavel Macenauer was born in Pilsen, probably into the family of Friedrich Ludwig Macenauer, who had owned the castle in Ulice or land in Jezne near Pilsen since 1900. Pavel was the brother of the musician Bedrich Macenauer Sr., and the uncle of the conductor and choirmaster Bedrich Macenauer Jr.

After completing his early education, Pavel Macenauer studied at a secondary technical school and at the Czech Technical University in Prague, where he obtained an engineering degree in 1927.

In 1922, Macenauer took part in the World Hart Court Championships in Brussels, where he lost in the first round of the men’s singles event. In 1925, he was runner-up in the men’s singles event at the Austrian International Championship. In 1926, he participated in the French International Championships at the Racing Club de France in Paris, where he reached the third round of the men’s singles event.

At the Eastern Mediterranean Tennis Championships tournament in Athens in 1926, Macenauer was runner-up in the singles event, won the men’s doubles with Franz Soyka, and was runner-up in the mixed doubles with the Greek player Lena Valaoritou-Scaramga.

At the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, Macenauer competed in the men's singles event and was eliminated in the third round by the American Richard Williams. From 1924 to 1929, Macenauer represented Czechoslovakia a total of five times in the Davis Cup, finishing with an overall record of 9 wins and 11 losses.

In 1940, Macenauer was listed as a large landowner in Ulice. After February 1948 and the establishment of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia, he was forcibly employed as the caretaker of an athletics stadium in Brno. He died of a heart attack on 30 July 1955 in Ulice and was buried in the Central Cemetery in Pilsen.
