Vicky Jiménez advanced to the second round of Indian Wells qualifying after coming from behind to defeat Italy's Lucrezia Stefanini in three sets.
The Andorran player, who recently cracked the WTA top 100 for the first time following a strong showing in Mexico, prevailed 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 against the world No. 138. The match lasted three hours, with Jiménez dropping her serve four times in a shaky opening set before steadying to turn the contest around.
With the qualifying draw limited to just two rounds, Jiménez now needs one more win to reach the main draw of the California Masters 1000 event. She faces top-seeded qualifier Katie Boulter of Britain, currently ranked No. 64, in the decisive clash.
