Cameron Norrie has moved one match away from a showdown with Novak Djokovic after winning his final qualifying contest at Indian Wells.
The British number three is looking to move into the world's top 100 in the coming months, and the 22-year-old's win over Sergiy Stakhovsky has taken him a step closer to that goal.
The current number 111 recorded two breaks of serve in each set to run out a convincing 6-4 6-2 victor over the Ukrainian to reach his first-ever main draw at a Masters Series event.
Norrie has been handed a first-round clash with fellow qualifier Taro Daniel, with the prize for the winner a meeting with former world number one Djokovic.
Kyle Edmund has been given a bye, with the new British number one due to face either Denis Istomin or Peter Gojowczyk later this week.
