Top-seeded Maria Sharapova defeated Sofia Arvidsson of Sweden, 6-2, 6-1, to win the Cellular South Cup on Saturday.
Sharapova, the world's 16th-ranked player, had only played one match this season, losing in the opening round of the Australian Open. It is the 21st title of Sharapova's career. Arvidsson, the 2006 Memphis champion, qualified for the event and was seeking the second title of her career.
