Macken once competed in the main draw singles at Wimbledon, losing his only match in four sets to Kurt Nielsen. In Davis Cup, Macken played in 10 ties for Canada over 9 years, beginning in 1946.
Canada's best result with Macken on board was defeating Mexico in 1952 to reach the America Zone final, where they lost to the U.S.
1-4.

He then took the only match off the Americans, beating Robert Perry in a dead fifth rubber.
