In 2022, Kyrgios had an impressive run at Wimbledon, defeating local player Paul Jubb, Filip Krajinovic, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Brandon Nakashima, and Christian Garin on his way to the semifinals. There, he was set to face Rafael Nadal, who had an outstanding record of 19-0 in Grand Slam matches that year.

However, Nadal was forced to withdraw due to an injury, granting Kyrgios a spot in the final. In the 2022 final, Kyrgios had a strong start, winning the first set, but Djokovic mounted a comeback and ultimately defeated Kyrgios 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 7-6.
