Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hard courts

A comeback Medvedev claimed his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with success over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament final.

Medvedev, a former world number one, has experienced a challenging period, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.

Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in especial - led to him falling of the top ten and eventually parting ways with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.

Currently training with Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Moutet.

This represents the player's maiden title after the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface since that period of that year.

The win also means he has won twenty-one victories at twenty-one various tournaments.

"It's the first time I have attended a event with my children at once, so to win a trophy is really nice," stated tennis professional the champion.

"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter her name, because the maiden victory I achieved when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."

The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in that event earlier this year.

Medvedev's defensive approach and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had prompted commentators to doubt if his ability to compete at the top level was over.

Yet the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and compete positively, supported by an enhanced serving game.

The champion recovered from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, winning four of the last five games to take the lead.

The competitors exchanged break points in the following set before Moutet, attempting for his first ATP Tour championship, took control to push for a third set.

The opponent rescued 4 early-game break points in a competitive deciding set before the champion broke to that score to close out the victory.

Appropriately, Medvedev earned the win with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to control a volley after a lengthy match.
