19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hardcourt

A comeback the Russian player claimed his maiden championship for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament final.

The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has had a challenging year, achieving just a single victory at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the US Open.

His varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serving in especial - resulted in him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.

Currently collaborating with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive victory over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.

It is Medvedev's maiden title after the Rome competition and first on a hard surface after that period of the previous year.

Success also indicates he has achieved 21 victories at 21 distinct events.

"For the first time I have attended a event with my both daughters at once, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional Medvedev.

"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."

The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his last six finals, including in the German tournament earlier this year.

The player's defensive play style and frequent outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to doubt if his skill to perform at the highest level was finished.

However the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and perform assertively, backed up by an enhanced service.

Medvedev recovered from a break down in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, securing 4 of the last five points to gain the advantage.

Both players exchanged breaks in the second set before the challenger, striving for his maiden ATP Tour championship, seized the initiative to create a decider.

He defended 4 early-game opportunities in a tight final set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.

Suitably, Medvedev earned the title with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to manage a shot after a lengthy match.
