19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Medvedev secured his initial title for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has experienced a challenging year, managing just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his serving in specific - caused him falling of the elite rankings and finally splitting with long-time coach Cervara.
Currently training with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's initial championship following the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt after March of that year.
Success also indicates the Russian has won 21 titles at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a tournament with my both daughters at once, so to win a title is really nice," commented ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter her name, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, comprising in that event in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive approach and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had caused commentators to wonder if his ability to compete at the highest level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and perform aggressively, supported by an enhanced service.
He came back from a break down in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, securing 4 of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged break points in the second set before the challenger, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to create a decider.
The opponent defended four initial break points in a close final set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Appropriately, the winner earned the win with a rally at the net area, with the Frenchman unable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
