British number one Johanna Konta says she has "a lot to smile about" after her latest Grand Slam bid ended in a US Open quarter-final defeat.
Konta made the last eight for a third successive Grand Slam, but lost 6-4 6-4 to Elina Svitolina in New York.
The world number 16 reached the French Open semi-finals and the Wimbledon quarter-finals earlier this year.
"It's nice to feel that I've still got room to just get better in the sport," Konta, 28, said.
Reflecting on her Grand Slam results, she added: "It is the best I have done so far in my career so there is a lot to be proud of there.
