Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been won on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his initial title for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.

Medvedev's varied form on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serving in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.

"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six title deciders, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and recurring reactions on the tennis court had prompted some to question if his skill to compete at the top level was finished.
Yet the player has made changes in recent weeks, making an effort to come to the net and play positively, supported by an better serve.
Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky opponent, taking four of the final five exchanges to take the lead.
