Miami - Serena Williams played her first match in nearly a month to reach the third round of the Miami Masters 6-2, 6-3 over fellow-American Alexa Glatch on Saturday.
The world number one was back on court after completing her annual pout by skipping this month's other big event in Indian Wells, where she and her sister Venus claim racial discrimination due to crowd jeers nearly a decade ago.
The 2001 incident still burns brightly for the Williams pair, who have vowed never to return to the California desert despite losing hundreds thousands of dollars in various sanctions from the WTA.
