19 of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been won on hard courts
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden championship for over two years with success over Corentin Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has endured a torrid season, winning just a single victory at the big events and suffering a setback at the American major.

Medvedev came back from a break down in the opening set against the tricky opponent, taking 4 of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.
