19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard courts

A resurgent the Russian player won his first title for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament title decider.

The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has endured a challenging year, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the US Open.

The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in specific - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with former trainer his previous coach.

Now training with his coach and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought three-set triumph over opponent Corentin Moutet.

This represents Medvedev's maiden championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hardcourt from that period of the previous year.

Victory also means Medvedev has secured 21 titles at twenty-one various events.

"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my children together, so to get a title is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.

"This title is in honour of my child her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."

Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six championship matches, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.

The player's defensive strategy and regular reactions on court had prompted commentators to wonder if his ability to play at the top level was over.

Yet the player has made changes in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and play aggressively, supported by an enhanced serving game.

Medvedev fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the difficult opponent, securing 4 of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.

The competitors traded service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour title, took control to push for a third set.

The opponent defended 4 early chances in a competitive final set before the Russian won the break to 15 to secure the win.

Suitably, the winner secured the win with a shot at the net, with his opponent failing to control a shot after a lengthy match.
