Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player won his first trophy for 882 days with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging season, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a difficult moment at the US Open.
His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in particular - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with former trainer his previous coach.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually improved in the last few weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive win over opponent Moutet.
This marks the player's initial championship since the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt from that period of the previous year.
The win also means he has won 21 championships at 21 distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my children at once, so to win a trophy is especially meaningful," said tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my child Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six finals, comprising in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive approach and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had caused observers to doubt if his capacity to compete at the top level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and play positively, reinforced by an better service.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging opponent, winning four of the concluding five points to take the lead.
Both players exchanged breaks in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his initial professional title, gained dominance to force a final set.
The opponent rescued four early opportunities in a competitive final set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, the winner earned the title with a point at the net area, with the Frenchman failing to handle a shot after over two and a half hours.
