Nineteen of the Russian's 21 victories have been earned on hardcourt

A resurgent Medvedev won his initial trophy for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.

The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has endured a torrid season, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the American major.

The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in especial - led to him dropping out of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with long-term mentor Cervara.

Now working with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought competitive win over opponent Corentin Moutet.

This marks his maiden championship after the Rome competition and maiden on a hardcourt from that period of 2023.

The win also signifies Medvedev has secured twenty-one victories at twenty-one various tournaments.

"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my both daughters at once, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 the champion.

"This victory is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my child my daughter was born was for her."

The athlete, the former major winner, had failed in his past six finals, comprising in that event previously this season.

His defensive approach and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted commentators to question if his ability to play at the highest level was over.

But the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, striving to approach the net and play assertively, reinforced by an enhanced serve.

Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the first set against the challenging Moutet, securing 4 of the last five games to go ahead.

Both players exchanged breaks in the middle set before Moutet, bidding for his first ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to create a final set.

He rescued 4 early-game opportunities in a close final set before the Russian broke to 15 to serve for the match.

Suitably, Medvedev secured the title with a point at the net, with the Frenchman failing to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
