Thanasi Kokkinakis has ended an enthralling, drama-filled week at Roland Garros with the feeling he's on the verge of a major breakthrough - and Taylor Fritz, the American star he nearly knocked out of the French Open, couldn't agree more.
Adelaide's Kokkinakis, nursing a series of injury niggles after his exhausting campaign in Paris, was left still agonising over the epic five-set comeback triumph that got away against US No.1 Fritz in the third round.
But the consolation for Kokkinakis after just missing out on a third straight late-night distance win was that he had enjoyed a week when he could remind himself he can mix it with the best.
