19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard surfaces

A comeback Medvedev secured his maiden trophy for 882 days with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition final.

The athlete, a former world number one, has had a difficult year, winning just one win at the big events and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.

His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in particular - resulted in him falling of the world's top 10 and finally separating with long-term mentor Cervara.

Currently working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought three-set win over Frenchman Moutet.

It is the player's initial title after the Italian tournament and maiden on a hardcourt after spring of that year.

Victory also signifies the Russian has won twenty-one victories at twenty-one distinct competitions.

"For the first time I am participating in a competition with my both daughters at once, so to secure a title is particularly special," said tennis professional Medvedev.

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

Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.

The player's retrieving play style and frequent reactions on court had caused observers to question if his capacity to perform at the elite level was finished.

But the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, striving to advance forward and play positively, backed up by an enhanced service.

He recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, securing 4 of the last five games to take the lead.

The competitors traded breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, striving for his first tour title, gained dominance to push for a decider.

He saved four early-game opportunities in a tight third set before the Russian broke to 15 to close out the victory.

Fittingly, he secured the win with a rally at the net area, with Moutet failing to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
