Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hardcourt

"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his last six finals, comprising in that event in the past months.
The player's defensive play style and regular outbursts on the tennis court had led some to question if his skill to play at the highest level was over.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and compete positively, supported by an better service.
The champion recovered from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, winning four of the final five games to gain the advantage.
