Nineteen of the Russian's 21 championships have been won on hard courts

A comeback Daniil Medvedev secured his first title for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition championship match.

Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a difficult period, managing just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the American major.

The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and issues with his serving in especial - led to him falling of the elite rankings and eventually parting ways with former coach Cervara.

Presently working with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily improved in the last few weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Moutet.

It is the player's initial championship after the Rome competition and initial on a hardcourt since that period of the previous year.

Victory also signifies he has won twenty-one titles at twenty-one different events.

"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my both daughters at once, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 Medvedev.

"This title is in honour of my child her name, because the first title I won when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."

Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his last six title deciders, comprising in Halle in the past months.

His counter-punching play style and frequent outbursts on court had caused commentators to question if his ability to perform at the top level was finished.

However the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and compete assertively, supported by an better service.

He came back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging opponent, winning 4 of the last five games to gain the advantage.

The pair exchanged breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, bidding for his initial professional championship, took control to create a final set.

He saved 4 early-game opportunities in a competitive final set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to close out the victory.

Suitably, Medvedev earned the win with a shot at the net, with Moutet incapable to manage a volley after a lengthy match.
