Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been achieved on hard courts

A comeback the Russian player won his initial title for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.

The Russian, a former world number one, has endured a challenging season, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.

His varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in especial - led to him exiting of the top ten and finally parting ways with former trainer Cervara.

Presently collaborating with Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently progressed in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought three-set victory over Frenchman Moutet.

It is Medvedev's maiden championship since the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt after that period of 2023.

The win also signifies the Russian has secured 21 championships at 21 various competitions.

"For the first time I am participating in a competition with my both daughters at once, so to get a title is really nice," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.

"This championship is in honour of my younger daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."

The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.

Medvedev's counter-punching strategy and frequent reactions on the playing surface had caused commentators to question if his skill to play at the top level was concluded.

However the player has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and perform assertively, reinforced by an improved serving game.

The champion recovered from a break down in the first set against the difficult Moutet, securing four of the last five games to take the lead.

The competitors traded breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first tour title, took control to push for a final set.

Moutet rescued four initial chances in a close final set before the Russian secured a break to 15 to serve for the match.

Suitably, Medvedev clinched the win with a shot at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
