DUBAI - Romania's Simona Halep overcame Czech Karolina Pliskova 6-4 7-6(4) in the final of the Dubai Championships on Saturday to claim her 10th WTA singles title.

The win ensured Halep, who ran her opponent ragged at the Aviation Club, would climb back to third in the world rankings.

She converted her only break point in the opener to claim the first set and shrugged off four service breaks and two fluffed match points to secure a second title of 2015 following victory in Shenzhen in January.
