At the US Open, he reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career with partner Hugo Nys, defeating 10th seeded pair Jamie Murray/Bruno Soares and Ariel Behar/Gonzalo Escobar.

At the 2023 Australian Open, he achieved his career best Grand Slam result by advancing to the semifinals with partner Hugo Nys.
