Count Victor Voss was born on the family estate at Schorssow in today Northeastern Germany to the Hungarian countess Elise Szapáry.

He reached the final at Nice once again in this year, but lost to Laurence Doherty in three straight sets never winning a one game.

[2] Voss usually played at the tennis facilities at Heiligendamm, where he frequently met with Russian Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna and countess Clara von der Schulenburg.

He used to wrap a wet towel around his forehead while playing, as he said it would prevent his glasses from fogging.

"[3] After losing to George Hillyard in the semifinals of the 1900 German Championships, Voss retired from playing tennis tournaments.
