PORTOROZ, Slovenia, July 25 (UPI) -- Anna Chakvetadze of Russia breezed past Sweden's Johanna Larsson 6-1, 6-2 Sunday to win the Slovenia Open title match.

It took Chakvetadze just over an hour to dispatch Larsson and win the eighth WTA Tour title of her career and first this year.

The Russian capitalized on Larsson's poor second serve, holding her to only 3-of-21 points.

Chakvetadze was making just her first finals appearance since 2008 and became the eighth unseeded champion on the tour this year.

Larsson, 21, was appearing in her first final.
