Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hard surfaces
A resurgent Medvedev secured his maiden championship for over two years with success over Corentin Moutet in the competition final.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has experienced a difficult year, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a setback at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his service game in particular - caused him exiting of the top ten and eventually parting ways with long-time trainer Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested competitive win over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden trophy following the Rome competition and initial on a hard court since March of the previous year.
Victory also means the Russian has secured 21 championships at 21 different competitions.
"For the first time I have attended a tournament with my children together, so to win a championship is really nice," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my child my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, comprising in Halle previously this season.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and regular reactions on court had caused commentators to wonder if his skill to compete at the elite level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to approach the net and perform positively, reinforced by an enhanced serving game.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the tricky opponent, taking 4 of the final five games to go ahead.
Both players traded break points in the second set before the challenger, attempting for his initial tour championship, gained dominance to push for a final set.
Moutet saved four initial opportunities in a close final set before the Russian broke to 15 to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner secured victory with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to control a return after a lengthy match.
