"I'm very happy
and emotional," said former world No 4 Schiavone who had gone into the Colombia tournament without a win on the tour in 2017.
"Today was a disaster match, but winning was the most important thing."
Victory on Saturday was Schiavone's 600th career win and took her ranking back to within striking distance of the Top 100.
