Though still very early, a clear pattern is being established at the 2015 Miami Open: Beware of the favorites. Still facing unseeded opponents in early-round play, a majority—keyword: majority—of the world's best players moved through without much incident in Thursday's action.

Agnieszka Radwanska, Venus Williams and Ekaterina Makarova each skated on to the third round with easy victories against their second-round opponents, while the men's side continues to pave the way for seeded players on bye by filling in the field.
