With every passing day, the names get bigger at the 2015 BNP Paribas Open and the stakes get higher. Friday brought second-round action on the women’s side, including Serena Williams' first appearance at Indian Wells since 2001, and first-round action on the men's side.

The biggest names on the men’s side will take the court for the first time over the weekend after first-round byes.

With that in mind, here is a look at scores and more from Friday’s slate at the BNP Paribas Open.

Friday’s Marquee Result and Saturday’s Match to Watch 



Serena Williams handled Monica Niculescu in straight sets, 7-5, 7-5, but it was about more than just the tennis Friday.

It was Williams' first appearance in Indian Wells since 2001 when she was booed during her championship match victory hours after her sister Venus withdrew from a match. As ESPN Tennis pointed out, it was certainly an emotional return to the venue:



Williams eventually settled in, although she received more of a challenge from Niculescu than many expected. Still, Williams' dominant serve was more than enough to win, as she racked up 13 aces to Niculescu's zero.

Despite not tallying a single ace, Niculescu stayed in the match by winning 68 percent of her first-service points, but it still wasn't enough to knock off the dominant Williams.

While Williams steamrolled her way to victory as the top seed on the women’s side, the top-ranked men’s player takes the court for the first time Saturday.
