While Serena Williams took center stage at the Miami Open Masters on Thursday, Novak Djokovic headlined the fifth day of the tournament. 

The tournament's top seed and No. 1 men's player in the world, Djokovic met Great Britain's Kyle Edmund in the second round.

Both men's and women's divisions started their second rounds on the day, which helped begin the layout of the tournament's round of 32. 

Here is what Saturday's schedule looks like after Friday's play:



Men's Results

Djokovic wasn't supposed to be the only headliner of the day. He was supposed to share the bill with world No. 3 Roger Federer, who was set to take on Juan Martin Del Potro. 

But the Miami Open announced just hours before he was set to take the court that he wouldn't be participating:



His replacement, Horacio Zeballos took full advantage of his second chance at a tournament run with a win over Del Potro in straight sets Friday 6-4, 6-4. 

He doesn't get much of a reprieve in the third round as the 112th-ranked tennis player in the world will have to face No. 65 Fernando Verdasco.

Djokovic advanced with a comfortable, 6-3, 6-3 win over Edmund in 80 minutes.

The world No. 1 finished with three aces and won 25 of his 33 first serves, tallying 13 winners and 18 unforced errors.

He even had a nifty pocket catch on a sky-high return that was credited a fault by Edmund, via the ATP World Tour:



Djokovic, last week’s winner at Indian Wells, will continue his title defense in the Miami Open in the third round against Portugal’s Joao Sousa. And if the top player in men's tennis remains on cruise control the way he has been thus far in 2016, he could hoist another trophy by the end of next weekend.
