Nineteen of the Russian's 21 championships have been achieved on hard surfaces

A resurgent the Russian player claimed his first championship for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.

Medvedev, a ex- number one, has experienced a torrid period, achieving just one win at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.

The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in particular - resulted in him falling of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with long-time mentor Cervara.

Now training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually advanced in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.

This represents his initial trophy following the Rome competition and first on a hard surface since that period of the previous year.

Success also means Medvedev has secured twenty-one victories at 21 different tournaments.

"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a title is particularly special," said ranked player Medvedev.

"This championship is in honour of my second daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."

The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his past six finals, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.

Medvedev's defensive approach and recurring reactions on court had caused some to wonder if his capacity to compete at the elite level was over.

However the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, attempting to advance forward and play assertively, reinforced by an better serving game.

He came back from a break down in the initial set against the difficult opponent, taking 4 of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.

The pair exchanged breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his first tour title, took control to push for a final set.

Moutet rescued four initial break points in a competitive final set before the champion won the break to 15 to secure the win.

Suitably, the winner clinched victory with a point at the net, with his opponent unable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
