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

A revitalized the Russian player claimed his first championship for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament championship match.

The Russian, a former world number one, has had a challenging period, managing just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the US Open.

Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in particular - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally separating with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.

Currently collaborating with his coach and his other coach, he has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Corentin Moutet.

It is his maiden trophy following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard surface since March of 2023.

Victory also signifies the Russian has won twenty-one titles at 21 different tournaments.

"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my children simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.

"This championship is in dedication of my child my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my older daughter her name was born was for her."

The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six finals, including in Halle in the past months.

His retrieving play style and recurring reactions on the tennis court had led observers to wonder if his skill to play at the highest level was finished.

But the player has made changes in the past month, attempting to come to the net and perform aggressively, backed up by an better serving game.

The champion fought back from a break down in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, securing 4 of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.

The pair swapped break points in the second set before Moutet, bidding for his initial professional title, took control to push for a final set.

He rescued 4 initial opportunities in a competitive third set before Medvedev broke to fifteen to serve for the match.

Appropriately, the winner earned victory with a rally at the net area, with his opponent failing to control a shot after a lengthy match.
