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.
