Medvedev overcomes Moutet and wins his first title since May 2023

Daniil Medvedev had been seeking an ATP title since May 2023 and his victory in Rome. This Sunday in Almaty, the Russian had the opportunity to finally win a new title against Corentin Moutet.

The match started in the best possible way for the Frenchman who broke Medvedev's serve right away. But the Russian managed to break back in the 8th game and then broke at 6-5 to take the first set.

But Moutet did not give up and broke Medvedev again at the start, before giving back the break in the 6th game. However, this time, he recovered his break immediately and won the second set 6-4.

Ultimately, it was Medvedev who took control in the decisive set, breaking the Frenchman on his 5th break point. He wins 7-5, 4-6, 6-3.

Interviewed on court after the match, he said: "I wasn't necessarily happy with the way I played at times in the match, but I think I managed the most important points. I'm happy to win the tournament, it's been so long.

I'll be in Vienna tomorrow morning, but I'll need to get some sleep first."
