19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament final.
The athlete, a former number one, has endured a difficult season, winning just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in specific - caused him falling of the elite rankings and finally separating with long-time trainer Gilles Cervara.

"This championship is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."

His retrieving strategy and frequent reactions on the tennis court had led commentators to doubt if his skill to perform at the top level was concluded.
But the player has made changes in the last few weeks, attempting to come to the net and perform aggressively, backed up by an better serve.
He came back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, securing 4 of the last five points to take the lead.

The opponent rescued 4 early break points in a tight deciding set before Medvedev broke to fifteen to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner earned the win with a shot at the net, with his opponent incapable to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
