19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hard surfaces

A resurgent the Russian player secured his first title for over two years with success over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.

Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has experienced a challenging period, managing just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.

Medvedev's varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in especial - led to him dropping out of the world's top 10 and eventually separating with long-time trainer Gilles Cervara.

Presently working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently progressed in the past month - peaking in a closely contested competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.

This marks Medvedev's first trophy after the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt after that period of that year.

Victory also signifies Medvedev has won 21 titles at twenty-one various tournaments.

"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my children simultaneously, so to get a title is particularly special," said world number 14 the champion.

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

The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his last six finals, including in that event in the past months.

His defensive approach and frequent emotional displays on court had prompted observers to doubt if his skill to compete at the highest level was over.

Yet the player has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and perform assertively, backed up by an enhanced service.

The champion came back from a break down in the first set against the difficult Moutet, securing four of the last five games to gain the advantage.

The pair swapped breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden professional championship, gained dominance to push for a decider.

The opponent defended four initial opportunities in a close third set before the Russian broke to 15 to serve for the match.

Fittingly, the winner secured the title with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
