Medvedev, who is 14th in the world after winning in Rome in May 2023, has lost six finals, including the US Open that year and the Australian Open that year.
He dropped out of Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and Flushing Meadows this year after falling in Melbourne’s second round.
After the US Open, Medvedev collaborated with Rohan Goetzke, Thomas Johansson, Thomas Johansson, and other players.
His 21st career victory also increases his chances of making it to the ATP Finals, where he moves up three spots to 12th place, just 875 points behind Lorenzo Musetti, who is eighth and last.
It is fantastic, he said. Although I wasn’t particularly happy with my performance in certain situations of the match, winning feels amazing,” Medvedev said.
He continued, “In the most crucial points, I played well.”
Next week, the Russian will compete in Vienna’s ATP 500 to keep his upward trend.
Medvedev won the decider after two evenly matched sets.
Moutet saved four break points, the former world No., and was close to breaking at 2-1. At 4-3, the Frenchman was able to break him before deciding to end the match with his serve.
“I’m happy I won the title after the last game, which was incredible.
It is a continuation of my humorous 21 titles, “said Medvedev.
After falling short of Doha in 2020 and Mallorca this year, Corentin, 26, is still waiting for his first career title.
