Resurgent Medvedev Secures First Title in Nearly 30 Months

Nineteen of the Russian's 21 titles have been won on hardcourt

A revitalized the Russian player won his first title for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.

Medvedev, a ex- number one, has had a difficult period, winning just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.

Medvedev's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in especial - led to him falling of the elite rankings and finally splitting with former coach Cervara.

Presently working with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.

This marks the player's maiden trophy since the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt since that period of that year.

The win also signifies Medvedev has won 21 championships at twenty-one different events.

"For the first time I am participating in a event with my both daughters together, so to win a championship is particularly special," commented world number 14 Medvedev.

"This championship is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the maiden victory I won when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."

The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his last six title deciders, featuring in the German tournament earlier this year.

The player's counter-punching strategy and recurring reactions on the tennis court had prompted some to question if his capacity to perform at the elite level was concluded.

But the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and play assertively, supported by an improved serve.

He recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, taking 4 of the last five games to take the lead.

The competitors swapped service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his first professional championship, took control to push for a third set.

Moutet defended 4 early-game opportunities in a tight final set before the Russian won the break to that score to close out the victory.

Fittingly, he clinched the win with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to handle a volley after a lengthy match.
