19 of Medvedev's 21 victories have been won on hard surfaces

A resurgent the Russian player secured his maiden trophy for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament championship match.

The Russian, a former number one, has experienced a torrid year, winning just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a setback at the American major.

His unpredictability on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in especial - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually parting ways with long-time trainer Gilles Cervara.

Presently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.

This represents Medvedev's initial title following the Rome competition and first on a hard court after spring of that year.

Success also signifies Medvedev has secured 21 championships at 21 different competitions.

"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my two daughters together, so to win a title is particularly special," stated ranked player the champion.

"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I won when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."

The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, including in Halle earlier this year.

The player's retrieving approach and recurring emotional displays on court had led observers to doubt if his ability to perform at the highest level was finished.

However the athlete has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and perform positively, supported by an enhanced service.

Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the challenging Moutet, taking 4 of the concluding five games to go ahead.

The pair swapped breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his maiden professional title, gained dominance to create a decider.

He defended four early-game break points in a competitive deciding set before the champion secured a break to that score to serve for the match.

Appropriately, he secured the win with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
