Professional career

2008

Although losing to No. 134 Jan Hernych in the final qualifying round, Kamke reached the main draw in singles of the Wimbledon Championships as a lucky loser. However, he then lost his first match to world No. 30, Andreas Seppi.

2010

He made the main draw at Wimbledon where he progressed through to the first and second rounds and then lost to 10th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 1–6, 4–6, 6–7. In July, he won the Challenger Banque Nationale de Granby by beating Milos Raonic in the final, 6–3, 7–6. At the Tiburon Challenger, he secured his second career Challenger title by defeating Ryan Harrison in the final. He reached back-to-back second rounds on ATP World Tour-level at Stockholm, Vienna and Basel.

As Kamke started the year as world No. 254 and finished it as world No. 66, he was awarded "Newcomer of the Year" by the ATP.

2011

2011 saw Kamke reach career-high rankings in both singles (world No. 64 in January) and doubles (world No. 419 in October).

2012

Kamke faced Roger Federer in the first round of the French Open. He led Federer by 4–1 in the second set before losing 2–6, 5–7, 3–6. In September, he reached a new career-high in doubles at world No. 262.
