19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player won his initial trophy for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The athlete, a former world number one, has experienced a difficult year, winning just one match at the big events and undergoing a setback at the American major.
His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in especial - led to him exiting of the top ten and finally splitting with former trainer his previous coach.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents his first title since the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt from March of that year.
Victory also indicates Medvedev has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I have attended a competition with my children simultaneously, so to secure a title is really nice," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six finals, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
His defensive approach and recurring emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted observers to doubt if his ability to play at the top level was over.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in the past month, making an effort to advance forward and play assertively, supported by an enhanced service.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, winning four of the concluding five points to gain the advantage.
Both players traded service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial tour title, gained dominance to force a decider.
Moutet rescued 4 early opportunities in a close third set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner earned victory with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
