Nick Kyrgios played his first Grand Slam final at the 2022 Wimbledon, but it didn't help his rankings since no points were awarded at the event.
The 27-years-old Australian reached his career-high in 2016 when he was ranked 13th. This year, he had a chance to get close to his highest ranking, but as he stated many times, he isn't interested in collecting ranking points. Nick Kyrgios is a player that any event would like to see on their courts and therefore he doesn't need to rely on rankings when entering tournaments.
After withdrawing from the 2022 Atlanta Open, it seems that the 2022 Wimbledon finalist lost his chance of being seeded at this year's US Open, but that doesn't seem to be something that would bother him.
"I've been that floater my whole career. Players know that whether I'm seeded or not the ball's kind of out of their court. If I'm confident and playing well they can't really do much. I'm 60 in the world but I feel like I'm top 10 always," Kyrgios said.
Recently, the 27-years-old Australian also shared how he feels about his first Grand Slam final, when he wrote:
"Honestly, I feel as if my first slam final was impressive, next time I would try ride the emotional wave a little smoother but I realise how much was on the line."
"I feel if I was up against anyone else but Djokovic in the final with they way I served that day, I would of won."
He also later added: "People tend to confuse my confidence for arrogance because they have no idea what I've been through."
