Novak Djokovic won the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships final, defeating Mikhail Youzhny 7-5 5-7 6-3.
The defending champion, who led 7-5 2-0 on Saturday when rain forced the players off the court for a second time, was taken to a third set before seeing off his Russian opponent.
World number three Djokovic was far from his best but the Serbian - winner of the 2008 Australian Open - prevailed on a day when there were seven breaks of serve in 19 games.
