Andy Murray remained upbeat about his overall French Open performance despite bowing out in the quarter-finals.
He went further than he had done before at Roland Garros before losing to Fernando Gonzalez and is now looking forward to the grass court season.
"I've won probably double the amount of matches that I had won in my life on clay before this stretch," he said.
"I'll just go and improve and work on some things in the next week or so, and hopefully play well on grass."
The 22-year-old Scot, ranked three in the world, lost 6-3 3-6 6-0 6-4 to Gonzalez but insisted he was not upset by his defeat as there were more positives than negatives to take from the experience.
"It's been a very good one (clay season) for me, a lot better than previous years," said the world number three.
"It's not like after a match like this I'm going to get down about it."
The Chilean's reward for beating Murray is a semi-final against Robin Soderling, the 23rd seed, who knocked out defending champion Rafael Nadal last weekend.
The other semi-final will be between the winners of Wednesday's matches between Roger Federer and Gael Monfils, and Juan Martin del Potro and Tommy Robredo.
Great Britain Davis Cup captain John Lloyd told BBC Sport he was impressed by what he had seen of Murray on the clay, adding that it set him up superbly for a serious challenge for the Wimbledon crown this summer.
"On grass the odds are much better for Murray, not many players play as well as he does," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"On clay you can say 15-20 players have a chance, but on grass you're down to about eight players and if Andy's not top of the list, he's very close - I think he's got a great shot."
