Nineteen of the Russian's 21 victories have been earned on hard surfaces

A resurgent Daniil Medvedev secured his maiden championship for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.

Medvedev, a ex- number one, has endured a challenging period, achieving just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.

His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in particular - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually separating with former trainer Cervara.

Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently advanced in the recent weeks - peaking in a hard-fought competitive win over challenger Moutet.

It is the player's first trophy after the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface after March of 2023.

Success also indicates the Russian has secured twenty-one championships at 21 various competitions.

"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a title is especially meaningful," stated ranked player Medvedev.

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

The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his past six finals, including in Halle in the past months.

Medvedev's counter-punching play style and recurring reactions on the tennis court had prompted some to doubt if his skill to perform at the elite level was finished.

But the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, making an effort to approach the net and play positively, supported by an improved service.

Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the difficult Moutet, taking four of the final five points to take the lead.

Both players exchanged breaks in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden ATP Tour victory, took control to push for a third set.

Moutet saved four early-game opportunities in a competitive final set before the champion won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.

Appropriately, he secured the win with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a return after a lengthy match.
