Biography
Very little is known of Curt Benckert’s life. He was born in Sundsvall, but played tennis at Kungliga Lawn Tennis Klubben (KLTK) in Stockholm. Benckert played the outdoor singles at the 1912 Olympics, and also played with Wollmar Boström in doubles, both in- and outdoors. Benckert lost his first match in singles to Austrian Arthur Zborzil.

Indoors they also made the quarters, and were also winless, receiving a bye in round one.
