Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hard surfaces

A revitalized Medvedev secured his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.

The Russian, a former number one, has had a challenging year, achieving just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the US Open.

Medvedev's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in particular - resulted in him exiting of the world's top 10 and finally separating with long-time mentor Cervara.

Currently working with his coach and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought competitive triumph over challenger Moutet.

This represents the player's maiden championship since the Italian tournament and first on a hard court since that period of the previous year.

Success also means the Russian has won 21 victories at 21 various tournaments.

"For the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters at once, so to win a championship is particularly special," commented ranked player Daniil Medvedev.

"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."

The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six finals, comprising in Halle earlier this year.

The player's retrieving strategy and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had caused some to doubt if his skill to perform at the highest level was concluded.

But the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, making an effort to advance forward and play positively, supported by an better serving game.

He recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky Frenchman, securing 4 of the last five exchanges to go ahead.

The pair exchanged breaks in the following set before the challenger, bidding for his first professional title, seized the initiative to create a final set.

The opponent defended 4 early-game opportunities in a close third set before the champion won the break to 15 to close out the victory.

Appropriately, the winner earned the win with a shot at the net area, with his opponent incapable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
