Serena Williams emerged from a month-long lay-off Sunday to beat Kirsten Flipkens at the debut tournament of the International Premier Tennis League, a fast-paced, television-friendly new version of the sport.

The American world number one broke Flipkens on her first service game and then went on to systematically attack the Belgian’s second serve and triumph 6-3.

Williams will also play in the Singapore leg of the IPTL tour from December 2 before starting her training for the regular 2015 women’s tour.
