Kyrgios became Australia’s top-ranked player at the end of 2022. He also finishes the year as Australia’s top-ranked doubles player, at position No. 13. At the beginning of his season, Kyrgios experienced a significant setback when his asthma forced him to withdraw from several tournaments. By mid-January, his ATP ranking had fallen to 114. As he advanced to the semifinals of the ATP 250 tournament in Houston in April, the 27-year-old began to win matches consistently. He capitalized on his momentum to make consecutive semifinal appearances in Halle and Stuttgart.
The most impressive performance of the Aussie came at Wimbledon. Kyrgios competed in his first Major final and fell to Novak Djokovic in four sets. He won his lone singles championship in 2022 at the Citi Open in Washington. He defeated Yoshihito Nishioka of Japan in the final in straight sets.
