19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hardcourt
A comeback Daniil Medvedev secured his initial title for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the competition final.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has had a challenging period, achieving just one match at the big events and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately separating with former trainer his previous coach.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has gradually improved in the past month - culminating in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's initial trophy since the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface from March of the previous year.
The win also signifies he has secured 21 victories at 21 distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my both daughters together, so to secure a trophy is really nice," commented world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his previous six championship matches, comprising in that event previously this season.
The player's retrieving play style and regular outbursts on the playing surface had led commentators to doubt if his ability to compete at the elite level was over.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to advance forward and compete assertively, supported by an improved serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, taking four of the final five games to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged break points in the second set before the challenger, attempting for his maiden tour title, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent rescued 4 early-game chances in a tight deciding set before Medvedev broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Appropriately, Medvedev earned the title with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
