19 of the Russian's 21 titles have been earned on hard courts

A revitalized the Russian player secured his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament final.

The Russian, a ex- world number one, has endured a difficult year, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.

Medvedev's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in particular - resulted in him falling of the top ten and finally parting ways with former coach Cervara.

Presently training with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.

It is his first trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface from March of that year.

The win also means Medvedev has achieved twenty-one victories at twenty-one different events.

"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my children simultaneously, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.

"This championship is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I won when my child Alisa was born was for her."

The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six finals, featuring in Halle in the past months.

His retrieving approach and regular reactions on court had led commentators to wonder if his capacity to compete at the elite level was finished.

However the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and perform aggressively, reinforced by an improved serving game.

He fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging opponent, securing four of the last five points to take the lead.

The pair swapped service breaks in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden tour championship, gained dominance to create a final set.

The opponent defended 4 early chances in a competitive deciding set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.

Fittingly, Medvedev clinched the title with a rally at the net area, with Moutet failing to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
