As a professional player, he mostly competed on the Challenger circuit, but made occasional appearances at Grand Prix level, all in doubles competition.

He first represented the Belgium Davis Cup team in a 1987 tie against Switzerland in Lugano, in which he played the doubles rubber. The following year, he played in losing ties to Finland and Hungary, resulting in Belgium's relegation from Europe Zone Group 1. In 1989, he featured in a further three ties and was unbeaten in all of his matches that year, six singles and three doubles rubbers, to help Belgium return to Group 1. His seventh and final appearance was in Belgium's win over Hungary in 1990, which qualified them for the World Group play-offs. [2]
Retiring from the tour in 1990, Langaskens later played club tennis in Duisburg, Germany. [3]
