19 of Medvedev's 21 titles have been won on hard courts
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev secured his first title for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a former number one, has experienced a torrid season, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in specific - caused him falling of the top ten and finally splitting with long-time trainer Cervara.
Currently working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden trophy following the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hardcourt since that period of the previous year.
Victory also indicates the Russian has won 21 titles at 21 different competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to secure a championship is particularly special," said tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my child her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my child her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his previous six finals, featuring in that event earlier this year.
Medvedev's counter-punching approach and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had caused commentators to doubt if his skill to compete at the top level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and compete positively, reinforced by an better serving game.
He came back from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult opponent, taking 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his maiden tour championship, seized the initiative to force a decider.
The opponent defended 4 early-game chances in a competitive third set before Medvedev broke to 15 to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner clinched the win with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
