The British number one goes into the French Open as the seventh seed but living up to her billing on a surface she is still learning to master looks a tall order.
By winning the Miami Open in April, Konta put herself in prime position to challenge for the sport's biggest prizes in a wide open women's field.
She is far from a natural on clay, though, and has only won two matches in three warm-up tournaments.
Now Konta will look to win her first-ever main-draw match at Roland Garros.
The 26-year-old said: "I guess it's a situation that's slightly unique to me and something that I have experienced over the last two years as I have been playing a lot of tournaments.
"I've been fortunate to be winning and obviously I've found myself in the situation I am now. But I think it's a very nice problem to have. I feel very lucky with that, I'm not complaining.
"I'm really enjoying this part of the season. I think it's giving me a lot of opportunity to grow as a player, my game style on this surface, but also, as a competitor, as a person.
"It gives me different challenges and the work that I'm putting in now - also I believe - will transfer on to the grass and also the hard."
The draw appears to have given Konta a great chance to break her duck, with world number 109 Hsieh Su-wei - who has not won a match on clay this year - first up, while the second round would bring a meeting with either American Taylor Townsend or qualifier Miyu Kato.
French 28th seed Caroline Garcia would be a much trickier prospect in the third round, but getting that far would be a significant step for Konta.
"I'm looking to apply myself the best I can," she said. "I'm looking to stay here for as long as possible.
"I think as long as I feel that I keep growing and I keep improving within the matches that I play, that's what's most important to me right now."
