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.

Diallo defeated again Daniel Evans to win his first ever tour level match at the 2023 National Bank Open in Toronto. [7] He followed up his showing in Toronto by winning the doubles title at the Winnipeg Challenger, partnering Leandro Riedi.

At the Davis Cup Finals group stage, Diallo recorded a shock upset victory over world No. 18 Lorenzo Musetti, winning in straight sets to give Canada the victory over Italy. [8]

He won his second Challenger title at the 2023 Slovak Open and reached the top 130 on 16 October 2023.
