Nineteen-year-old Spaniard Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino, the world number 174, thrived in the high altitude of Bogota to claim her maiden WTA title on Sunday in just her third main draw event.
Arruabarrena-Vecino defeated fellow first time finalist Alexandra Panova of Russia 6-2, 7-5, taking victory on her sixth match point.
"It was a very tough final," said Arruabarrena-Vecino.
"Alexandra has been playing so well this week, so I knew it would be tough and I would need to run a lot. I was nervous at the end but I managed to finish the match."
