19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard surfaces

A revitalized the Russian player won his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.

Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has experienced a torrid period, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.

His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in especial - caused him exiting of the top ten and ultimately separating with long-term coach Cervara.

Now working with his coach and his other coach, he has steadily advanced in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.

This represents Medvedev's initial trophy after the Rome competition and first on a hard surface since March of that year.

The win also signifies he has secured 21 victories at 21 various tournaments.

"It's the first time I'm at a competition with my children together, so to get a championship is particularly special," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.

"This title is in tribute of my child her name, because the initial championship I won when my child her name was born was for her."

The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his past six title deciders, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.

The player's retrieving approach and frequent emotional displays on the tennis court had led observers to doubt if his capacity to play at the top level was concluded.

But the player has made changes in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and perform aggressively, backed up by an improved service.

Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Moutet, taking four of the concluding five points to gain the advantage.

The pair traded breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to force a final set.

The opponent rescued four early-game break points in a competitive deciding set before Medvedev secured a break to 15 to serve for the match.

Suitably, he secured the title with a rally at the net area, with his opponent failing to handle a shot after a lengthy match.
