19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard surfaces

A comeback Medvedev secured his maiden championship for 882 days with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.

Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid year, winning just one match at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the American major.

Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in specific - led to him falling of the top ten and eventually separating with former mentor Cervara.

Now working with Johansson and Goetzke, he has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Moutet.

It is his first trophy following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hardcourt after that period of 2023.

Success also signifies the Russian has achieved 21 titles at twenty-one various events.

"For the first time I have attended a tournament with my two daughters at once, so to get a championship is especially meaningful," stated ranked player the champion.

"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter her name, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter her name was delivered was for her."

The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his previous six title deciders, featuring in Halle earlier this year.

Medvedev's retrieving play style and recurring reactions on court had caused observers to wonder if his capacity to perform at the highest level was over.

Yet the athlete has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and perform positively, backed up by an improved service.

He fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, taking four of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.

The competitors exchanged breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour title, gained dominance to create a final set.

Moutet rescued four early opportunities in a close final set before the Russian won the break to that score to close out the victory.

Fittingly, he secured the title with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to control a return after over two and a half hours.
