Biography
[edit]The member of a Lotharingian noble family, Salm was the second born son of Prussian cavalry officer Count Alfred von Salm-Hoogstraeten and Baroness Adolphine von Erlanger.[2]
Salm was based in the United States during World War I and competed on the local tennis circuit.[3] He lost to Bill Tilden in the first round of the 1917 U.S. National Championships.[4] By the 1920s, Salm was living on an estate in Hungary. He represented the Austria Davis Cup team in 1924, playing doubles with his brother Ludwig against Switzerland.[5]
