One of the highlights of O’Connell’s career was his win over 13th-ranked Diego Schwartzman, which also helped him reach the third round of the 2022 Australian Open as a wild card. Another notable achievement was his victory over 16th-ranked Alexander Zverev, which led him to his second ATP Tour semifinal at the 2023 Munich tournament.

In 2019, O’Connell played a total of 108 main draw and qualifying singles matches across all tours. He had an impressive record of 50-11 on the ITF World Tennis Tour, winning three titles out of ten finals.
