### 2010: Reaching top 30

At the first Grand Slam championship of the year, the [Australian Open](/source/2010_Australian_Open), Dulgheru entered both the singles and the doubles events, these being her first appearances at Melbourne.

A first time appearance at [Wimbledon](/source/2010_Wimbledon_Championships) saw her entering there all three possible draws: singles, doubles and mixed doubles.

Dulgheru at the 2010 US Open

At the [Paris Indoor Grand Prix](/source/2010_GDF_Suez_Grand_Prix), second seeded Alexandra reached her fourth semifinal of the year. She won over Sandra Záhlavová, [Anna Chakvetadze](/source/Anna_Chakvetadze) and [Anastasija Sevastova](/source/Anastasija_Sevastova) being defeated in the semifinals by Hungarian [Ágnes Szávay](/source/%C3%81gnes_Sz%C3%A1vay), in three sets.

Following good form, Alexandra was second seeded at [Prague Open](/source/2010_ECM_Prague_Open) too. In the first round, she defeated Italian [Tathiana Garbin](/source/Tathiana_Garbin), in three sets. Soon after the victory, she felt pain in her right knee and had to withdraw from the tournament ahead of her second-round match with Slovenian [Polona Hercog](/source/Polona_Hercog). The injury held her away from tennis for one month.

In August 2010, she returned to the courts preparing for the [US Open Series](/source/US_Open_Series). She entered the [Cincinnati Open](/source/2010_Western_%26_Southern_Financial_Group_Masters_and_Women's_Open) where she lost in the first round to Alisa Kleybanova.

She finally found her game at the [US Open](/source/2010_US_Open_(tennis)) where she entered both singles and doubles events. In singles, being the 25th seed she won in the first round over French [Julie Coin](/source/Julie_Coin) in straight sets. She then faced in the second round [Sofia Arvidsson](/source/Sofia_Arvidsson) whom she defeated also in straight sets. Her run came to an end in the third round when she lost to seventh seeded [Vera Zvonareva](/source/Vera_Zvonareva), in two sets. In the doubles event, partnering [Magdaléna Rybáriková](/source/Magdal%C3%A9na_Ryb%C3%A1rikov%C3%A1), Alexandra and her partner surprised in the first round third seeded Spanish duo consisting of [Nuria Llagostera Vives](/source/Nuria_Llagostera_Vives) and [María José Martínez Sánchez](/source/Mar%C3%ADa_Jos%C3%A9_Mart%C3%ADnez_S%C3%A1nchez), in a close three-setter. In the second round, Dulgheru and her partner defeated [Edina Gallovits](/source/Edina_Gallovits) and [Klaudia Jans](/source/Klaudia_Jans) in straight sets. Their run was stopped by 14th seeded Russian duo of [Elena Vesnina](/source/Elena_Vesnina)/Vera Zvonareva who won in two sets.

At the end of the year, she was ranked No. 29 in the world.

### 2011: High ranked 26th

Dulgheru started off the year losing in the first round of both of her first two tournaments in straight sets. Her poor form continued at the [Australian Open](/source/2011_Australian_Open) losing to [Ayumi Morita](/source/Ayumi_Morita). Then in Miami, Dulgheru had a very good tournament. She won in the second round over Chanelle Scheepers, and in the third over Johanna Larsson. In the fourth round, she beat Peng Shuai, also in straight sets. In the quarterfinals Dulgheru faced Sharapova, and they played a marathon match. After splitting the first two sets, at 5–4 Dulgheru served for the match, but Sharapova got a break and then won the match in the third set tiebreak. Dulgheru's ranking rose to No. 26, her best ranking so far.

At the [US Open](/source/2011_US_Open_(tennis)), Dulgheru upset recent [Wimbledon](/source/2011_Wimbledon_Championships) champion and fifth seed [Petra Kvitová](/source/Petra_Kvitov%C3%A1) in the first round[9] before losing in the second round to compatriot [Monica Niculescu](/source/Monica_Niculescu), in straight sets.

### 2012: Injury and fall out of top 200

Ranked No. 65 at the beginning of the year, Dulgheru won her only (ITF) title of the year in [Cali](/source/2012_Copa_Bionaire), defending [Mandy Minella](/source/Mandy_Minella) in three sets.

After consecutively losing openers in [Bogotá](/source/2012_Copa_Sony_Ericsson_Colsanitas), in [Monterrey](/source/2012_Monterrey_Open) and in [Acapulco](/source/2012_Abierto_Mexicano_Telcel), she played in the first round at [Indian Wells](/source/2012_BNP_Paribas_Open) with [Irina Falconi](/source/Irina_Falconi), but after winning the first set, she retired in the second set with a knee injury.

She came back on courts after eight months in November in a couple of ITF tournaments, yet with poor results. By the end of the year she was ranked No. 233.

### 2013: Slowly climbing back

After making semifinals and then becoming winner in two ITF Circuit events in Antalya, Alexandra returned to the WTA Tour with a protected ranking in [Indian Wells](/source/2013_BNP_Paribas_Open) and defeated qualifier [Michelle Larcher de Brito](/source/Michelle_Larcher_de_Brito), before losing in the second round to 32nd seeded [Peng Shuai](/source/Peng_Shuai). Next week, in [Miami](/source/2013_Sony_Open_Tennis), she lost her opener to [Anabel Medina Garrigues](/source/Anabel_Medina_Garrigues).

She received a wildcard for the qualifying tournament in [Madrid](/source/2013_Mutua_Madrid_Open), and she did qualify, but lost to eventual finalist [Maria Sharapova](/source/Maria_Sharapova) in the first round. Still as a qualifier at the [Palermo Ladies Open](/source/2013_Internazionali_Femminili_di_Palermo), she had to retire in the first round with [Lourdes Domínguez Lino](/source/Lourdes_Dom%C3%ADnguez_Lino) due to right toe injury.

In [Båstad](/source/2013_Swedish_Open), she started better, defeating [Caroline Garcia](/source/Caroline_Garcia) in two sets, but she then lost to [Virginie Razzano](/source/Virginie_Razzano) in the second round. In [Toronto](/source/2013_Rogers_Cup), she had to play the qualifying matches again, and she qualified for the first round, where she lost to Magdaléna Rybáriková in straight sets. In [Cincinnati](/source/2013_Western_%26_Southern_Open), she did not manage to qualify for the main draw, losing again to Sofia Arvidsson in the second qualifying round.

With a protected ranking she received an entrance directly in the first round at the [US Open](/source/2013_US_Open_(tennis)), and first she defeated [Varvara Lepchenko](/source/Varvara_Lepchenko) in a tough three-setter, before losing to 13th seeded [Ana Ivanovic](/source/Ana_Ivanovic).

Before playing some smaller ITF tournaments, she ended her WTA Tour in [Seoul](/source/2013_Korea_Open), where she won in straight sets against wildcard [Han Sung-hee](/source/Han_Sung-hee), before losing in the second round to [Lara Arruabarrena](/source/Lara_Arruabarrena) in three sets.

At the end of the year, Alexandra was ranked 164th in the WTA rankings.

### 2014: Return to top 100

After inconsistent results on the WTA Tour, Dulgheru did very well in ITF tournaments, winning in Marseille and Dubai, and making semifinals in Campinas. The points she gathered made her climb up to No. 83 in the rankings by the end of year.

### 2015: Finalist in Kuala Lumpur and top 50 again

Dulgheru at the 2015 French Open

Dulgheru started her season at the [Shenzhen Open](/source/2015_WTA_Shenzhen_Open_%E2%80%93_Singles).

In February, Dulgheru reached the final round of qualifying at the [Dubai Championships](/source/2015_Dubai_Tennis_Championships_%E2%80%93_Women's_singles) where she was defeated by [Mirjana Lučić-Baroni](/source/Mirjana_Lu%C4%8Di%C4%87-Baroni).[12] Getting past qualifying in [Qatar](/source/2015_Qatar_Total_Open_%E2%80%93_Singles), she retired during her second-round match against third seed Caroline Wozniacki due to an upper respiratory tract infection.[13] After she recovered from the infection, she made it to the third career final at the [Malaysian Open](/source/2015_Malaysian_Open_%E2%80%93_Singles), before losing to top seed Caroline Wozniacki.[14] This brought her to be 72nd in the WTA rankings. Following this performance, she entered the [Miami Open](/source/2015_Miami_Open_%E2%80%93_Women's_singles) and qualified for the event but lost in the first round to Elena Vesnina.

Dulgheru then received a wildcard for the [Madrid Open](/source/2015_Mutua_Madrid_Open_%E2%80%93_Women's_singles) but retired in the third set against former French Open champion Ana Ivanovic, after taking the first set.

Dulgheru had another great tournament at the Premier 5 [Italian Open](/source/2015_Italian_Open_%E2%80%93_Women's_singles). She qualified for the event and defeated [Misaki Doi](/source/Misaki_Doi), 12th seed Lucie Šafářová and eighth seed [Ekaterina Makarova](/source/Ekaterina_Makarova) (her fourth career top-ten win).
