19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard courts
A resurgent Medvedev won his first title for nearly 30 months with a win over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid period, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.
His unpredictability on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in especial - led to him exiting of the top ten and eventually separating with long-time trainer Cervara.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has steadily improved in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive win over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This marks his initial title since the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard court since March of the previous year.
Success also signifies the Russian has secured twenty-one titles at twenty-one distinct events.
"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my children simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is particularly special," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his previous six championship matches, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
His counter-punching approach and recurring emotional displays on court had led commentators to doubt if his capacity to compete at the elite level was over.
Yet the player has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to approach the net and play positively, supported by an better serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the first set against the tricky opponent, taking four of the last five exchanges to go ahead.
The competitors traded breaks in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his first professional title, gained dominance to force a decider.
He saved four initial opportunities in a competitive final set before the champion secured a break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev earned the win with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to manage a return after a lengthy match.
