Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been won on hard courts
A comeback Daniil Medvedev secured his initial title for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has endured a difficult season, winning just one match at the big events and suffering a setback at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally splitting with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set win over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This represents his initial trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hard court after March of the previous year.
The win also means Medvedev has secured 21 victories at twenty-one various competitions.
"For the first time I have attended a tournament with my both daughters together, so to secure a title is particularly special," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had lost his past six finals, including in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's retrieving strategy and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had caused commentators to question if his ability to compete at the highest level was over.
Yet the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, making an effort to advance forward and perform positively, supported by an better serve.
He came back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, winning 4 of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped breaks in the middle set before Moutet, bidding for his first ATP Tour title, seized the initiative to force a final set.
He saved 4 initial break points in a competitive final set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, Medvedev earned the win with a rally at the net, with Moutet incapable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
