19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player won his first title for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has endured a difficult period, managing just one win at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.
His varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in particular - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and ultimately separating with long-time mentor Cervara.
Currently collaborating with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually advanced in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's maiden trophy since the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt after March of the previous year.
Success also signifies he has secured twenty-one championships at 21 various events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my two daughters together, so to win a championship is particularly special," said tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I won when my first daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his past six finals, including in Halle earlier this year.
His defensive approach and recurring outbursts on court had caused observers to question if his capacity to compete at the highest level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, striving to come to the net and play positively, backed up by an better service.
Medvedev came back from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky opponent, securing four of the last five games to go ahead.
The competitors swapped service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial tour championship, took control to push for a final set.
The opponent defended 4 early-game opportunities in a close final set before the Russian broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Appropriately, he clinched the win with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
