Biography
Larsen, who was born in Aarhus, turned professional in 1995.
A right-handed player, he made his Davis Cup debut in a 1996 World Group qualifier against Spain, where he was beaten by Carlos Moya.[1]
In 1997 he appeared in the main draw of an ATP Tour tournament for the first time, as a wildcard at his home event, the Copenhagen Open.
Larsen had his best year on tour in 1998. Playing as a qualifier, he featured in the main draw of the 1998 Dutch Open and had a win over Dinu Pescariu, then fell in the second round to top seed Karol Kucera. Later in 1998 he finished runner-up in two Challenger tournaments in the space of a month, at Sopot and Brasov, after which his ranking rose to a career best 170 in the world. He took Stefan Koubek of Austria to five sets in a Davis Cup tie against Austria in Pörtschach.[2]
He received another wildcard into the Copenhagen Open in 1999 and won his only Davis Cup match that year, over Hungary's Zoltán Böröczky.[3]
In 2001 he made his final Davis Cup appearance for Denmark.
