Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized Medvedev won his first title for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament championship match.

"This victory is in honour of my child my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my first daughter her name was born was for her."

Medvedev's counter-punching approach and recurring emotional displays on the playing surface had led observers to doubt if his ability to compete at the elite level was finished.
But the player has made changes in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and play aggressively, supported by an better serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the opening set against the difficult opponent, winning 4 of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
Both players swapped breaks in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his initial ATP Tour championship, took control to create a final set.
He saved 4 initial break points in a tight deciding set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, Medvedev clinched the win with a rally at the net area, with his opponent unable to handle a shot after a lengthy match.
