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

A comeback Medvedev won his initial title for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.

The Russian, a ex- world number one, has endured a torrid year, winning just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the US Open.

His unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in particular - resulted in him falling of the top ten and ultimately separating with long-time mentor his previous coach.

Currently training with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive triumph over opponent Moutet.

This represents Medvedev's first title since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface since that period of the previous year.

The win also signifies Medvedev has achieved 21 victories at 21 different competitions.

"This marks the first occasion I'm at a competition with my two daughters together, so to get a trophy is really nice," commented ranked player Daniil Medvedev.

"This victory is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter her name was born was for her."

The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, comprising in that event previously this season.

The player's counter-punching approach and frequent outbursts on court had caused commentators to wonder if his skill to compete at the top level was over.

Yet the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, making an effort to approach the net and play assertively, supported by an better serve.

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

Both players swapped break points in the second set before the Frenchman, bidding for his maiden ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to create a final set.

Moutet defended four early opportunities in a tight third set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to close out the victory.

Fittingly, he earned the win with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to control a return after a lengthy match.
