19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been achieved on hard courts

A revitalized the Russian player claimed his initial trophy for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.

Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid year, achieving just a single victory at the big events and suffering a setback at the US Open.

The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in particular - resulted in him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with former mentor Cervara.

Presently collaborating with his coach and Goetzke, he has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.

This represents his maiden trophy since the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt since March of the previous year.

The win also means Medvedev has secured 21 titles at 21 distinct events.

"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is particularly special," stated ranked player Medvedev.

"This victory is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."

The athlete, the past champion, had lost his last six finals, comprising in Halle earlier this year.

His retrieving play style and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had caused observers to wonder if his skill to perform at the elite level was concluded.

Yet the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and perform positively, backed up by an enhanced serving game.

Medvedev came back from a break down in the opening set against the tricky Frenchman, securing four of the final five points to gain the advantage.

The competitors traded service breaks in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his first tour title, took control to create a decider.

Moutet rescued 4 early-game break points in a close final set before the champion won the break to that score to secure the win.

Fittingly, Medvedev earned victory with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman failing to manage a shot after a lengthy match.
