MEMPHIS, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Sofia Arvidsson earned her second Memphis International title Saturday with a victory over No. 4 seed Marina Erakovic in the event's final.

The 28-year-old Swede dispatched Erakovic in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, on the indoor hard courts at The Racquet Club of Memphis.

Arvidsson last won in Memphis in 2006 and was the event's runner-up two years ago.

Erakovic, of Croatia, was appearing in only her second career final after falling at the Quebec City title match last year.
