He beat Adrian Mannarino to become the first Chinese player since Pan Bing in 1995 to reach an ATP Tour-level semifinal as well as the second from China to do so. By defeating top seed and world No. 8 Taylor Fritz in the semifinals, he became the first Chinese male ever to defeat a top 10 ranked player and to make an ATP Tour level final in the Open Era. He went one step further to win the title defeating John Isner, after saving four championship points in the match, and become the first Chinese man in the Open Era to win an ATP Tour title. By doing so, he became the highest-ranked Chinese player in the history of the ATP rankings, and overtook Zhang to become the first Chinese player to enter the top 60 on 13 February 2023.

He won his first match defeating Luca Nardi in four sets, but lost in the second round to Eliot Spizzirri. Despite not qualifying for Delray Beach, Wu was able to continue his good form in Acapulco where, as a qualifier, he reached his first quarterfinal at ATP 500 level after upsetting third seed Casper Ruud and defeating fellow qualifier Sho Shimabukuro Despite losing to eventual champion Flavio Cobolli in straight sets his good results still allowed him to re-enter the world's top 120.
