Kimmich was born in West Germany, but moved to Australia when he was five.[2]

He received a wildcard entry into the 2005 Australian Open and played Mariano Zabaleta in the first round, losing in four sets.[3] In the men's doubles he and partner Adam Feeney lost in the opening round to the Russian pairing of Igor Andreev and Nikolay Davydenko.[3]

In the 2006 Australian Open, Kimmich was again given a wildcard, but he once more wasn't able to progress to the second round, with 26th seed Jarkko Nieminen proving too strong.[3] He was also eliminated in the first round of the mixed doubles with Lisa McShea.[3]
