Nick Kyrgios on verge of Top 10 breakthrough at ATP Finals
ATP
The 27-years-old Australian had a successful ATP season in singles and also doubles and thanks to winning the 2022 Australian Open alongside Thanasi Kokkinakis, they qualified for the 2022 ATP Finals.
The Australian duo certainly isn’t a typical doubles team that would sign up for 20+ events in a season and collect points also at lower-tier events. On the contrary, they played only a few events and succeeded almost at every tournament they signed up for.
Despite a low amount of events played, Nick Kyrgios collected enough points to be the highest-ranked Australian player in the ATP Rankings in singles and doubles and he has a chance to break in Top 10 of the doubles rankings at the ATP Finals.
Before the event, the 2022 Wimbledon finalist was ranked 11th with 3740 points. The 10th player is Nikola Mektic, who has 4165 points and that means that the Australian needs to advance from the group to surpass the Croatian.
It will be the first participation at the year-end event for Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis and so it will be interesting how will they do against the top doubles teams. Their journey begins on Monday against Wesley Koolhof and Neil Skupski.

- If Jessica Pegula had to undergo such horror for using a bannes substance, so do these two tennis players. Penalty should apply to all players regardless of their excuses. They are professionals and know better!!
Stella112-12-2024 - All players should be treated the same for taking banned substances, if your no 1 in the world or no 300 man or woman you should not be allowed to keep playing,,VPH108-12-2024

- IDK, it looks like to me that Raducanu should praise herself and her team for 'gaming the system' as in playing the points and ranking game. When you look at her season of wild cards, skipping tournaments (including the Paris Olympics!), retiring from losing matches and avoiding qualifying rounds, it seems like there was some plan to move up the ranks without actually playing a lot of tennis. And it worked! Congrats!RealityCheckers04-12-2024
