Laura Robson has insisted that positives can be drawn from her Madrid Open defeat to Ana Ivanovic.
The British number one crashed out of the competition after losing the deciding set in a tie-break, but believes that she showed signs of progress during the match.
"I'll definitely take the positives out of the match," BBC Sport quotes the 19-year-old as saying.
"It's been a good week of tennis for me and my level has picked up a lot since Estoril last week. It's not all bad and I've still got Rome to look forward to next week.
"It was a great match from her and hopefully we'll have some more great matches in the future."
Ivanovic will play Angelique Kerber for a place in the quarter-finals.
