The end of Friday's matches at the 2015 Miami Open prevented reigning champion Serena Williams from taking the court, but plenty of notable names did get their work in at the Masters event.

Victoria Azarenka has been fighting to get on course this season, but she took a big step forward in advancing to the third round. After making the final last week at Indian Wells, Jelena Jankovic ran into an Azarenka buzz saw in a 6-1, 6-1 blowout.

Ben Rothenberg of The New York Times highlighted how resilient Azarenka proved to be in the most trying points of the day:



Indian Wells champion Simona Halep needed three sets to get through to the next round, defeating Nicole Vaidisova 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 in a back-and-forth affair.

SI Tennis praised the efforts of Halep's 25-year-old adversary:



A rain delay had to have played a part in stymieing Halep's momentum after she'd cruised in the first set. At least the world No. 3 was able to overcome the adversity and do enough to move on after such a huge triumph in her previous start.

In a battle of two of the USA's most talented young players, Sloane Stephens had a rather easy time knocking off Madison Keys 6-4, 6-2.

Tennis journalist Douglas Robson believes Stephens is trending in the right direction, though she's still seeking her first WTA title:



Another American upstart had an interesting match on Friday to round out the most notable storylines on the women's side. Irina Falconi pushed fifth-seeded Ana Ivanovic to three sets, only to ultimately fall short by a score of 7-5, 6-7 (3), 6-3.

The highest seed in action in the ATP was No. 2 Rafael Nadal, who took care of business with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Spanish compatriot Nicolas Almagro.



Nadal spoke about his form after he capitalized on lackluster serving by his opponent, winning 13 of 26 second-return points.
