Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev secured his initial championship for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has experienced a challenging year, winning just a single victory at the big events and undergoing a setback at the US Open.
The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in especial - led to him dropping out of the top ten and finally splitting with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive victory over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's first trophy after the Rome competition and initial on a hard court after spring of 2023.
Success also means Medvedev has won twenty-one victories at 21 various competitions.
"For the first time I'm at a event with my two daughters at once, so to secure a championship is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my younger daughter Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his previous six title deciders, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and frequent outbursts on the tennis court had led commentators to wonder if his skill to perform at the elite level was finished.
However the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and play positively, supported by an enhanced serving game.
He fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, taking four of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped break points in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his maiden ATP Tour victory, took control to push for a third set.
The opponent rescued 4 early chances in a close deciding set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner clinched the title with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman failing to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
