19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been won on hardcourt

A comeback Medvedev claimed his maiden title for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament final.

The athlete, a ex- number one, has had a difficult season, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the US Open.

His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serving in especial - caused him exiting of the top ten and eventually separating with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.

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

This represents the player's initial title after the Rome competition and first on a hard court from spring of the previous year.

Success also signifies Medvedev has achieved twenty-one victories at 21 different competitions.

"For the first time I have attended a tournament with my two daughters at once, so to get a trophy is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 Medvedev.

"This victory is in honour of my second daughter her name, because the first title I won when my child Alisa was born was for her."

The athlete, the past champion, had lost his past six title deciders, comprising in that event previously this season.

His counter-punching strategy and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had led observers to wonder if his ability to perform at the top level was over.

But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and play aggressively, supported by an better service.

The champion came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the difficult Frenchman, taking 4 of the last five games to take the lead.

The competitors swapped service breaks in the following set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour victory, took control to force a decider.

Moutet defended 4 early opportunities in a competitive third set before the champion secured a break to that score to serve for the match.

Suitably, Medvedev clinched the win with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
