Nineteen of the Russian's 21 victories have been earned on hard courts

A comeback Medvedev secured his initial trophy for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.

Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a difficult season, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the American major.

His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his serving in particular - led to him falling of the top ten and ultimately separating with former trainer Gilles Cervara.

Currently working with his coach and Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a closely contested competitive win over Frenchman Moutet.

It is his maiden title following the Rome competition and initial on a hard surface since that period of the previous year.

The win also signifies the Russian has won twenty-one titles at 21 different tournaments.

"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my children at once, so to secure a title is really nice," stated world number 14 Medvedev.

"This title is in tribute of my second daughter her name, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter her name was born was for her."

Medvedev, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, comprising in that event in the past months.

His retrieving play style and regular reactions on the playing surface had prompted some to question if his skill to compete at the highest level was finished.

But the athlete has made changes in the past month, making an effort to advance forward and play positively, backed up by an better serving game.

He came back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, securing four of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.

The competitors traded break points in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour championship, seized the initiative to force a third set.

He saved 4 early break points in a tight third set before the champion won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.

Fittingly, he secured the title with a point at the net, with Moutet unable to manage a volley after a lengthy match.
