In early 2010 Lemke won all three qualifying rounds at the ATP World Tour event in Auckland , where he lost to Albert Montañés at his premiere at this level . A month later at the Challenger in Burnie , he also won his first match at the second highest tennis level and even reached the final in doubles with his partner Dane Propoggia . By the end of the year, he had won a future title in singles and doubles and made it into the top 300 in the world for the first time. He held this position in the following year 2011, when he was eliminated in the first round of qualification in all four Grand Slam tournaments, but also won four singles and three doubles titles on the Future Tour. This year he reached his career best with 224 in singles and 293 in doubles. The Australian also celebrated his only appearance in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament in 2011 when he lost in the first round at Matt Reid's side in the Australian Open doubles competition .
