Tobias Kamke aims to down old practice pal
The German completed a four-set victory in his delayed match against Blaz Kavcic yesterday to book a date with the Scot. Kamke is something of a late developer but a rise of 187 places up the rankings last year earned the 25-year-old a place among the elite.
Among his achievements was a run to the third round of Wimbledon, where he put in a respectable performance against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, while in November he hammered Wimbledon finalist Tomas Berdych in Basle. Kamke has never played a professional match against Murray but the pair practised together at the Monte Carlo Masters in April.

"It will be a good experience for me. To be in my favourite tournament, against Andy Murray, in England, is incredible."
