19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A comeback Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden title for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the competition title decider.
The Russian, a former number one, has experienced a difficult year, achieving just one match at the big events and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in especial - caused him falling of the elite rankings and eventually separating with long-term coach his previous coach.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a closely contested competitive victory over opponent Corentin Moutet.
It is the player's initial title after the Rome competition and first on a hard court after that period of that year.
Success also indicates he has won 21 championships at 21 distinct competitions.
"For the first time I'm at a tournament with my both daughters together, so to win a title is really nice," said tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my first daughter her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his previous six title deciders, including in Halle earlier this year.
The player's retrieving play style and frequent outbursts on the tennis court had led some to doubt if his skill to play at the highest level was over.
However the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to advance forward and compete assertively, backed up by an better serve.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, winning four of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his initial professional title, seized the initiative to create a third set.
He saved four initial break points in a tight third set before the Russian broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he secured the win with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
