2023: First ITF titles, Asian Games quarterfinals, Maiden Challenger final, Top 300

In 2023, Wong made his first ITF Final in Tunisia, but finally lost to Lebanon's Hady Habib. Then in the next consecutive week, Wong won his first ITF $15k singles event in Tunisia on 25 June, beating Italy's Luca Giacomini, which made him the first tennis player from Hong Kong to win a professional men's singles title. In September, Wong won his first $25k singles title in Hong Kong, in addition to making the final in doubles with his compatriot Wong Hong Kit.

Wong then participated in the Asian Games hosted in Hangzhou, first beating then-world No. 98 Wu Yibing in the round of 16 after saving 5 match points, making him the first ever player from Hong Kong to beat a top 100 player. However, he lost to South Korean player Hong Seong-chan in the quarterfinals.

The following week, Wong competed in an ITF $15k tournament in Doha, Qatar, finishing as the runner-up after losing 6–7^(4–7), 4–6 to Marat Sharipov.

In October, he recorded his first ATP Challenger Tour main-draw win in Shenzhen, beating Linang Xiao. Wong went on to beat Térence Atmane and Huang Tsung-hao, and following the withdrawal of world No. 110 Aleksandar Kovacevic, he qualified for his first ATP Challenger final. Nevertheless, Wong lost to former top 50 player James Duckworth in the final by a decisive 0–6, 1–6 margin. Due to this performance, Wong reached a career-high ATP ranking of No. 361, climbing over 160 places from No. 530 in September, marking a significant milestone in his career as he became the first Hong Kong male tennis player ever to make an ATP Challenger Tour final.

Wong then traveled to Playford, Australia, receiving a special exempt at the City of Playford International Challenger 75 Tournament. He fought back to defeat New Zealand player Ajeet Rai in the first round. Wong went on to beat world No. 68 Thanasi Kokkinakis, who retired in the second set, and defeated Tristan Schoolkate and world No. 100 Taro Daniel in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively, both in three sets. As a result, Wong reached his second consecutive ATP Challenger Tour final, setting up a rematch of the Shenzhen final from the previous week with James Duckworth. Despite losing by a small margin of 5–7, 5–7, his performance allowed him to become both the first Hong Kong male tennis player ever to crack the top 300 and the highest-ranked Hong Kong male tennis player in history, elevating his ATP ranking to a career-high of No. 295.

Wong competed at his third ATP Challenger event in three weeks in Sydney, beating Pavle Marinkov in the opening round, but later defeated by world No. 80 Rinky Hijikata in the next round in three sets.

Following a brief period of recovery, Wong traveled to Yokohama for the Keio Challenger. After defeating Altuğ Çelikbilek in the opening round, Wong made the quarter-finals following a walkover by James Duckworth. However, he was defeated by Yuta Shimizu in a grueling 6–7, 7–6, 6–7 loss. Wong ended his season at the Yokkaichi Challenger, making the semifinals before being defeated by world No. 81 Michael Mmoh.

In singles, he lost to world No. 27 Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets. In doubles, Wong partnered with the Belgian Zizou Bergs but they were defeated in the first round by Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev. The following week, Wong entered the Nonthaburi 2 Challenger in Nonthaburi, Thailand as the fifth seed. After beating Jason Tseng in straight sets, he was defeated by Yasutaka Uchiyama despite winning the first set. Wong then competed in doubles at an ITF $15k tournament in Manacor, which he had won two years prior, partnering with Russian player Yaroslav Demin. The pair reached the finals, where they were defeated in straight sets.

In February, Wong competed in two consecutive Challenger tournaments in Bangalore, India and Pune, India. In Bangalore, Wong advanced to the second round before losing to second-seeded Sumit Nagal. In Pune, Wong was defeated by British tennis player Felix Gill in the first round. Wong then entered the Delhi Open Challenger, where he reached the final while only dropping one set. He was defeated by Geoffrey Blancaneaux in the final in straight sets. Soon after, Wong competed at a Challenger tournament in Lugano, Switzerland. However, he was defeated by the eighth-seeded Jan Choinski in three sets.

In March, Wong received a wildcard into the qualifying draw of the 2024 Miami Open. He defeated both the then-world No. 89 Hugo Gaston and the then-world No. 97 Sumit Nagal to make his main draw debut at a Masters 1000, becoming the first-ever Hong Kong player to qualify for and play in the main draw of a Masters 1000-level event. As a result he broke into the top 200 in the ATP singles rankings, again making history as the first male Hong Kong player ever to do so.
