19 of Medvedev's 21 titles have been won on hard courts

A revitalized the Russian player won his initial championship for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.

The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has had a difficult season, winning just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the New York tournament.

His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and issues with his serving in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally splitting with former coach Cervara.

Now training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently improved in the recent weeks - culminating in a tightly fought three-set triumph over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.

This represents his first title following the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface from spring of 2023.

Victory also indicates the Russian has achieved 21 titles at twenty-one distinct competitions.

"For the first time I have attended a competition with my children at once, so to get a title is really nice," said tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.

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

Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his last six title deciders, featuring in Halle previously this season.

The player's counter-punching strategy and regular emotional displays on court had led some to wonder if his skill to play at the elite level was finished.

Yet the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and play assertively, supported by an better service.

He fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging Frenchman, taking 4 of the last five exchanges to take the lead.

The pair exchanged breaks in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his first professional championship, gained dominance to create a decider.

The opponent saved 4 early chances in a competitive third set before Medvedev broke to that score to secure the win.

Suitably, he earned the win with a point at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to control a return after over two and a half hours.
