Arango, who was dealing with illness, battled hard in the opening set but faded in the second as the match was wrapped up in 95 minutes.

“You showed so much fight and gave the people a show,” Jovic said.

“It’s not easy to start out on tour when you’re young… but people like Emiliana make it easier and always have a smile on their face.”

Jovic featured in all four Grand Slams this year – reaching the second round of the Australian Open, French Open and US Open, while she exited Wimbledon in round one.
