19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player won his maiden trophy for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a former number one, has had a difficult year, achieving just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in particular - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
It is his first trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hard court from that period of that year.
Victory also means he has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 distinct events.
"For the first time I'm at a tournament with my both daughters together, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament earlier this year.
Medvedev's retrieving approach and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted commentators to wonder if his ability to compete at the elite level was over.
Yet the athlete has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, making an effort to come to the net and play aggressively, reinforced by an better serving game.
He fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, taking 4 of the concluding five points to take the lead.
The pair traded service breaks in the second set before the challenger, striving for his initial ATP Tour championship, took control to push for a final set.
The opponent saved 4 initial chances in a competitive final set before the champion secured a break to that score to close out the victory.
Fittingly, the winner secured the title with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to control a shot after a lengthy match.
