The winner will take one of the 12 spots left in the 96-player men's draw, with the tournament proper - tennis' unofficial fifth major - to begin on Wednesday.
In the women's qualifiers, Harriet Dart reached the next stage with a 6-2 6-2 victory over Latvia's Darja Semenistaja. She now faces American Liv Hovde on Tuesday.
But Heather Watson's hopes of reaching the women's draw were ended on Sunday as she lost in three sets to Spain's Rebeka Masarova in qualifying.
There will be plenty of British interest in the main men's and women's tournaments - the draws for which take place on Tuesday evening - including Andy Murray, Cameron Norrie and Emma Raducanu, with the latter handed a wildcard.
Katie Boulter will be in action, too, days on from winning her first WTA 500 title following victory over Marta Kostyuk in the final in San Diego.
