Daniil Medvedev, coming off back-to-back ATP finals defeats, held off David Goffin 7-6 (7/3), 6-4 Sunday to win the ATP Cincinnati Masters.
The ninth-seeded Russian finished with an ace after saving break points in the final game, lifting a first Masters 1000 trophy after settling for runner-up finishes to Nick Kyrgios in Washington and Rafael Nadal in Montreal last weekend.
"I've had so much support these three weeks," Medvedev said.
"To finally lift a trophy is just an amazing feeling."
After his full-on post-Wimbledon schedule, the winner admitted: "I'm so exhausted, I almost can't talk now. But the crowd gave me amazing energy."
"I think you are ready for New York."
