Morgan Cibilic's campaign to requalify for the Championship Tour (CT) ended in heartbreak as he fell short with a last-minute wave in quarter-finals of the season finale at Haleiwa, Hawaii.

Cibilic, the 2021 world No.5 who missed the inaugural mid-season CT cut this year, needed to progress past the quarter-finals on Saturday (AEDT) at the Challenger Series (CS) event to secure a top 10 finish on the second-tier and book his return to the elite tour for 2023.
