Dan Evans has his sights set on more US Open heroics after producing the result of the first day in New York.
It is safe to say not many of the spectators who headed to Flushing Meadows would have ever heard of the 23-year-old from Birmingham.
Ranked 179th in the world, Evans' biggest career highlights have come in Group I of the Europe/Africa Zone in the Davis Cup, where he has helped Britain beat Slovakia and Russia over the last two seasons.
But he put his name firmly on the map with a 6-4 6-4 6-2 victory over 11th seed Kei Nishkori - the first British man other than Andy Murray, Tim Henman or Greg Rusedski to beat a top-15 player at a grand slam for more than 20 years.
Three days after qualifying at a slam for the first time, Evans posted his first main draw win, and with it guaranteed himself prize money of about £34,000 - a quarter of everything he has won in his career so far.
In the second round he will take on Australia's Bernard Tomic in what should be a very attractive clash between two players who have something of a bad-boy reputation.
Evans is on a run of 12 wins from 14 matches and he has a cockiness about him that serves him well on the big stage.
He said: "I knew I was a good player, but I just hadn't put it all together. I was pretty calm. It wasn't that much of a big deal what was happening on the court. I wasn't nervous.
"I played another good match. I've played some good matches for the last five weeks. I really want to go far in the tournament, win a few more matches. I'm ready to play again."
It was a perfect opening day for Britain, with 30th seed Laura Robson allaying fears over a wrist injury with a 7-5 6-0 victory over Lourdes Dominguez Lino.
A right wrist problem had seen Robson miss the last three tournaments but she played intelligently against a woman she had lost to in both their previous meetings and next meets fellow 19-year-old Caroline Garcia from France.

Heather Watson will hope to keep up Britain's winning start but in many ways she has an even tougher task than Evans - against 21st seed Simona Halep.
The Romanian is on a really hot streak, having won four of her last seven tournaments, most recently in New Haven at the weekend with back-to-back wins over Caroline Wozniacki and Petra Kvitova.
Murray does not play until Wednesday, while there were contrasting fortunes for two of his title rivals on Monday.
Rafael Nadal made it 16 hard-court victories without defeat this season with a straightforward win over Ryan Harrison, but Roger Federer's match against Grega Zemlja in the night session was rained off, meaning he must come back today.
Defending women's champion Serena Williams crushed Francesca Schiavone 6-0 6-1 while Victoria Azarenka and Novak Djokovic also begin their campaigns.
