Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hard surfaces

A comeback Daniil Medvedev won his initial title for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition final.

The athlete, a former world number one, has had a difficult year, achieving just one match at the big events and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.

Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serving in particular - resulted in him falling of the top ten and finally splitting with former trainer his previous coach.

Now collaborating with his coach and Goetzke, he has gradually improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought competitive victory over opponent Moutet.

This marks his initial trophy since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hardcourt from March of the previous year.

Success also means he has secured 21 victories at twenty-one various events.

"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my both daughters at once, so to win a championship is really nice," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.

"This title is in dedication of my child her name, because the first title I got when my first daughter her name was born was for her."

Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his last six finals, comprising in that event in the past months.

His counter-punching strategy and regular outbursts on the tennis court had prompted commentators to doubt if his ability to compete at the highest level was concluded.

But the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an better serving game.

The champion fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, winning 4 of the concluding five games to take the lead.

The pair traded breaks in the second set before Moutet, striving for his maiden professional victory, seized the initiative to force a final set.

The opponent rescued four initial opportunities in a competitive final set before the Russian won the break to 15 to secure the win.

Appropriately, the winner earned the win with a shot at the net, with Moutet failing to control a return after a lengthy match.
