Tobias Kamke (born 21 May 1986) is a German former professional tennis player. He was ranked as high as world No. 64 in singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), which he first achieved in January 2011. In 2010, Kamke was awarded Newcomer of the Year by the ATP after slashing his singles ranking from No. 254 to No. 67 by year-end following four finals on the ATP Challenger Tour, having beaten emerging players Milos Raonic and Ryan Harrison in two of the finals for the titles, and a third round appearance at the Wimbledon Championships, his career-best performance at a major. Kamke announced his retirement in July 2022 and played his last professional match at the Hamburg European Open.
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.
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, 1âÂÂ6, 4âÂÂ6, 6âÂÂ7. In July, he won the Challenger Banque Nationale de Granby by beating Milos Raonic in the final, 6âÂÂ3, 7âÂÂ6. 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. 67, he was awarded "Newcomer of the Year" by the ATP.
2011 saw Kamke reach career-high rankings in both singles (world No. 64 in January) and doubles (world No. 419 in October).
Kamke faced Roger Federer in the first round of the French Open. He led Federer by 4âÂÂ1 in the second set before losing 2âÂÂ6, 5âÂÂ7, 3âÂÂ6. In September, he reached a new career-high in doubles at world No. 256.
Kamke announced his retirement in July 2022 and played his last professional match at the Hamburg European Open in the doubles tournament with Dustin Brown; they lost in the first round.
