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

A resurgent the Russian player claimed his maiden trophy for over two years with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the competition title decider.

The athlete, a former number one, has experienced a challenging season, winning just a single victory at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.

Medvedev's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serve in especial - led to him dropping out of the world's top 10 and finally separating with long-term mentor his previous coach.

Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily advanced in the past month - peaking in a closely contested three-set triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.

This represents his initial trophy after the Rome competition and initial on a hardcourt since spring of that year.

The win also indicates he has achieved 21 championships at twenty-one different events.

"It's the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters together, so to win a trophy is especially meaningful," stated ranked player Medvedev.

"This title is in honour of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."

The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.

The player's defensive approach and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had led observers to wonder if his skill to play at the highest level was over.

Yet the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and perform assertively, backed up by an enhanced serving game.

The champion recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging opponent, winning 4 of the last five games to take the lead.

Both players swapped service breaks in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his first professional victory, gained dominance to force a decider.

Moutet saved 4 initial chances in a tight deciding set before the Russian won the break to 15 to serve for the match.

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