Simona Halep has won her 20th WTA title after defeating Elena Rybakina in Dubai.
The Romanian struggled in the first set but fought back to win 3-6, 6-3, 7-6.
"I have such crazy emotions right now, it has been a great match," Halep said.
"Rybakina is still really young and has many years ahead of her in the game.
"It was a little bit tough, I was too nervous. You have to fight for every ball, I think I gave my best this week."
This is the third time that Halep has won the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship, after victories in 2014 and 2015.
