With the BNP Paribas Open firmly in the rearview mirror for the tennis world, the focus now shifts to Key Biscayne, Florida, for the 2016 Miami Open.

While none of the world's best players were in action during Wednesday's first-round play, fans were treated to some of the sport's next generation, in addition to a few former Grand Slam finalists.
