Nineteen of the Russian's 21 titles have been earned on hard surfaces

A revitalized the Russian player won his initial trophy for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the competition championship match.

Medvedev, a former world number one, has endured a difficult year, winning just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the American major.

Medvedev's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in specific - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and eventually parting ways with former coach his previous coach.

Presently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over opponent Corentin Moutet.

It is Medvedev's first title since the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court since spring of the previous year.

The win also means Medvedev has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 distinct competitions.

"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my two daughters together, so to get a title is particularly special," said world number 14 the champion.

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

The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his last six finals, featuring in the German tournament earlier this year.

Medvedev's retrieving strategy and recurring reactions on court had prompted some to wonder if his capacity to perform at the top level was over.

But the player has altered his approach in the past month, striving to advance forward and compete aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced serve.

He came back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, securing four of the final five points to go ahead.

Both players swapped breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, bidding for his initial tour championship, seized the initiative to create a decider.

The opponent rescued four initial opportunities in a close final set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to serve for the match.

Suitably, he secured the title with a point at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a return after a lengthy match.
