Medvedev's retrieving play style and recurring outbursts on court had caused some to doubt if his ability to compete at the top level was over.

Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, securing four of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.

Suitably, Medvedev clinched the win with a point at the net, with Moutet unable to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
