Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his first trophy for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging period, winning just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in specific - caused him dropping out of the world's top 10 and finally parting ways with long-time mentor Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, he has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden trophy after the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt from March of that year.
Victory also indicates the Russian has secured twenty-one titles at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters at once, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six finals, featuring in the German tournament previously this season.
Medvedev's retrieving approach and regular emotional displays on court had caused observers to question if his ability to perform at the top level was finished.
However the player has made changes in the past month, striving to come to the net and compete positively, reinforced by an better service.
Medvedev came back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, securing four of the concluding five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded breaks in the following set before the challenger, striving for his maiden professional victory, seized the initiative to push for a final set.
He rescued four initial chances in a competitive third set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, he secured the title with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
