Emerson Jones won't remember her third comprehensive grand slam trouncing with any sense of dismay or regret.
Neither will she dwell on the fact it took modern-day tennis great Iga Swiatek just an hour to take her to school at the French Open on Monday with a 6-1 6-2 education.
No, what this enthusiastic, tough teenage Aussie, the youngest player in the women's world's top 150, will recall is the moment she blasted a marvellous inside-out forehand winner to leave the four-time champ wrong-footed and just a little stunned to have her serve broken.
Coming after she'd lost the first eight points of the match on her most daunting of Court Philippe Chatrier debuts, it was one of those moments that reminded the exceptional 17-year-old Gold Coast prospect that her time will come.
There were a few moments like that over the hour, so no wonder Jones felt she could give herself a pat on the back.
"At the start of the first set and the second set when I was a bit close, it was pretty exciting. Got a bit of belief there for a second. Yeah, I think I played pretty well," she mused.
"Even just being in front of the crowd on that court - I'm Australian, I'm 17, I'm playing on that court. I mean, it's really exciting."
Jones has been fantastically unlucky in one sense in these first three slams - the past two Australian Opens and now her overseas debut - as she's drawn two multiple grand slam champs in Elena Rybakina and Swiatek, and the dazzling young Canadian Victoria Mboko, now herself a top-tenner.
But though she's won just 10 games combined in those defeats, she swears that those chastening experiences are part of the reason she's already risen to world No.136.
"I'm obviously a way off from these top women, like Iga and Rybakina, (Aryna) Sabalenka, all of them," says the daughter of 2004 Olympic triathlon silver medallist Loretta Harrop and former Aussie Rules player Brad Jones
"It's tricky coming up against someone like that when you haven't played many top women, but I've just gotta keep believing, and it's great I get to play them now so later on I can believe a bit more.
"Not many 17-year-olds get to say they've played both Rybakina and Swiatek ... really special, also, really tough when you're out there!"
Things are changing fast for the former junior world No.1 as she sets off for a busy grass-court campaign, hoping to qualify or be given a wildcard to Wimbledon as she was in Paris.
"I'm restricted on how many tournaments I can play because I'm 17, so when that really frees up and I turn 18, just after Wimbledon, I can play whatever I want."
