19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been won on hardcourt
A comeback Daniil Medvedev won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has experienced a challenging year, winning just one match at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.
The player's varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately separating with former mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with his coach and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set win over challenger Moutet.
This marks his initial trophy since the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface from March of the previous year.
The win also means he has won twenty-one championships at twenty-one different tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my both daughters simultaneously, so to secure a championship is really nice," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my child my daughter, because the first title I won when my first daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six finals, featuring in the German tournament earlier this year.
His defensive play style and frequent outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to wonder if his skill to perform at the elite level was over.
But the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, striving to approach the net and compete aggressively, supported by an improved serving game.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the tricky Frenchman, taking four of the last five points to take the lead.
The pair swapped breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first ATP Tour championship, seized the initiative to create a third set.
He rescued four initial break points in a competitive third set before the Russian secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Appropriately, the winner earned victory with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
