Nineteen of the Russian's 21 victories have been earned on hard courts

A resurgent the Russian player won his first title for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament final.

The Russian, a former number one, has experienced a challenging season, winning just a single victory at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.

His varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serve in particular - caused him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately separating with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.

Now working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set win over Frenchman Moutet.

This represents his first title since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hardcourt after spring of the previous year.

Victory also means Medvedev has achieved twenty-one championships at twenty-one distinct competitions.

"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my both daughters simultaneously, so to win a championship is really nice," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.

"This title is in honour of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter her name was born was for her."

The tennis star, the past champion, had lost his past six finals, comprising in that event in the past months.

The player's defensive play style and frequent reactions on the tennis court had led some to doubt if his skill to compete at the elite level was over.

However the athlete has altered his approach in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and perform aggressively, supported by an enhanced serve.

He recovered from a break down in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, securing 4 of the last five games to go ahead.

The competitors traded service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, bidding for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a decider.

The opponent rescued four early chances in a competitive third set before the Russian secured a break to fifteen to close out the victory.

Appropriately, he clinched victory with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
