19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hard courts

A resurgent the Russian player claimed his first title for 882 days with success over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.

Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has had a torrid period, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.

The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and issues with his serving in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with former trainer his previous coach.

Now training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently improved in the past month - peaking in a closely contested three-set triumph over challenger Moutet.

This represents the player's initial championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt since spring of the previous year.

The win also signifies the Russian has secured twenty-one titles at 21 different tournaments.

"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my both daughters together, so to get a championship is particularly special," commented world number 14 Medvedev.

"This title is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my child my daughter was born was for her."

Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.

Medvedev's counter-punching strategy and regular outbursts on the playing surface had caused commentators to doubt if his ability to play at the elite level was over.

But the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and compete positively, reinforced by an enhanced serve.

Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, securing 4 of the concluding five games to go ahead.

The pair traded break points in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his first tour title, seized the initiative to force a third set.

He defended four early-game opportunities in a competitive third set before Medvedev broke to fifteen to close out the victory.

Appropriately, Medvedev clinched the win with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
