Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging period, managing just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a meltdown at the US Open.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in particular - led to him exiting of the top ten and finally splitting with long-term mentor his previous coach.
Now collaborating with his coach and his other coach, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought three-set win over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's initial title after the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt from that period of that year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 various events.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six title deciders, comprising in that event previously this season.
Medvedev's retrieving approach and regular outbursts on the playing surface had led commentators to doubt if his skill to play at the top level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in the past month, striving to come to the net and perform aggressively, backed up by an better service.
Medvedev fought back from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, taking four of the concluding five games to go ahead.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the following set before Moutet, striving for his first ATP Tour championship, took control to create a decider.
He defended four early-game break points in a competitive final set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured victory with a point at the net, with Moutet unable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
