2022: Maiden Challenger title, ATP & top 250 debut, Davis Cup champion
In August, he made his ATP debut in the qualifying competition as a wildcard at the 2022 National Bank Open in Montreal where he defeated James Duckworth in the first round.[5]
Participating in a tournament also with a wildcard entry, Diallo won 5 consecutive matches to claim his maiden title at the 2022 Granby Challenger in only his fourth main-draw Challenger-level tournament. The 20-year-old was the youngest Canadian champion on the Challenger Tour since Felix Auger-Aliassime won the Tashkent Challenger in 2018. As a result he rose to a career-high No. 335 in the ATP Rankings. [6] He finished the year at a career-high ranking of No. 224 on 21 November 2022.
