the transition to grass season was more fruitful. kyrgios and jackson withrow of the u.s.a. were knocked out of the first round doubles match by sriram balaji and vishnu vardhan. his next tournament, the stuttgart open, saw him reach the semifinals, falling (7–6, 2–6, 6–7) to eventual champion roger federer. following stuttgart, kyrgios entered the queen's club championships. his first round match was a victory over former world no. 1 andy murray with a score of (2–6, 7–6, 7–5). this was notable as it was murray's return to the tour since wimbledon 2017 and it was kyrgios' first professional win over murray after five prior attempts. this was followed by a three-set win over kyle edmund (7–6, 6–7, 6–3) and a straight sets victory over defending champion feliciano lopez (7–6, 7–6) in the quarterfinals. he was defeated in the semifinals by marin cilic in two tiebreaks, (6–7, 6–7). despite his bellicose attitude during his run, he enjoyed the tournament, describing several moments as "untouchable." he racked up 98 aces in four matches and ran his opponent to a tiebreak in each match. at wimbledon, kyrgios defeated denis istomin and robin haase but lost to kei nishikori in straight sets in the third round.
