Iva Jovic, a 17-year-old native of Southern California, secured her first WTA Tour title at the Guadalajara Open Akron by finishing off Colombia's Emiliana Arango 6-4, 6-1 on Sunday in Mexico.

Jovic received a favorable path at the WTA 500-level event, as she only faced one seeded player, the No. 8 seed. She capitalized on the opportunity, following three-set victories in the quarters and semis with a tidy 95-minute final.

Jovic saved 6 of 9 break points Sunday, converted 6 of 11 opportunities and won more than half her return points (31 of 54). Arango had four double faults and struggled on both serve and return.
