He was all over the news when he reached his first Grand Slam singles final at Wimbledon but lost to Novak Djokovic after a thrilling four sets encounter. He won his first singles title of the season at the Citi Open and again went on to win the doubles titles at the Atlanta Open alongside Thanasi Kokkinakis. He made it to the quarter-finals of the Canadian Open after defeating World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev.
On the other hand, Thanasi Kokkinakis has also had a great season this year winning 16 matches out of the 29 he has played so far. He also made it to the semifinals of the Adelaide International 1 and then won his first ATP title the very next week at the Adelaide International 2. Alongside Nick Kyrgiost he lifted the doubles title at the Australian Open. He made it to the quarterfinals of the Geneva Open and won another doubles title with Kyrgios at the Atlanta Open.
