19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with success over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has had a torrid year, achieving just one match at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his service game in particular - resulted in him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with long-time mentor Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually improved in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought three-set win over opponent Corentin Moutet.
It is Medvedev's initial trophy following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hardcourt since March of that year.
Success also means Medvedev has won 21 championships at twenty-one various events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my two daughters together, so to secure a title is really nice," said ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my child her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his past six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's counter-punching strategy and frequent emotional displays on court had caused observers to doubt if his ability to compete at the highest level was concluded.
Yet the athlete has altered his approach in the last few weeks, attempting to approach the net and compete positively, backed up by an enhanced serve.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky opponent, securing four of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the second set before the challenger, striving for his first tour title, gained dominance to push for a decider.
He defended 4 early opportunities in a tight final set before the champion secured a break to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner earned the win with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
