19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev secured his initial championship for 882 days with success over Corentin Moutet in the competition championship match.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has experienced a difficult season, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the US Open.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in specific - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually separating with long-time trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested competitive triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks his initial title since the Rome competition and initial on a hard surface since that period of that year.
Victory also indicates the Russian has won 21 championships at twenty-one different tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my children together, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my child her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his last six finals, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
His counter-punching approach and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had led some to question if his skill to compete at the top level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and compete positively, supported by an better serving game.
He recovered from a break down in the initial set against the difficult Moutet, securing 4 of the concluding five points to take the lead.
The competitors swapped breaks in the second set before Moutet, bidding for his first tour title, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent saved 4 early break points in a tight third set before Medvedev secured a break to 15 to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he secured the title with a point at the net area, with Moutet unable to control a return after over two and a half hours.
