19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been won on hard courts

A resurgent the Russian player claimed his initial trophy for over two years with success over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament title decider.

The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a difficult period, managing just one match at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.

His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with former trainer Gilles Cervara.

Now training with Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the last few weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive victory over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.

This represents his initial title after the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard court after spring of that year.

Victory also indicates the Russian has achieved twenty-one victories at 21 various tournaments.

"For the first time I am participating in a competition with my children simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is really nice," commented tennis professional the champion.

"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."

The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, comprising in Halle in the past months.

Medvedev's counter-punching strategy and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted observers to question if his skill to compete at the highest level was finished.

Yet the player has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and play assertively, reinforced by an enhanced serve.

Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the first set against the difficult opponent, winning 4 of the final five games to take the lead.

Both players swapped breaks in the second set before Moutet, bidding for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to force a final set.

Moutet saved four initial chances in a close final set before the Russian broke to fifteen to serve for the match.

Appropriately, Medvedev earned the title with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
