19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback Medvedev secured his maiden championship for 882 days with success over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has had a challenging season, 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 ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in specific - led to him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with long-time mentor Cervara.
Presently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily advanced in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
This marks the player's first title following the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface after spring of that year.
Success also means the Russian has won 21 titles at 21 various events.
"It's the first time I have attended a competition with my both daughters at once, so to win a trophy is really nice," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his last six title deciders, including in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's counter-punching strategy and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had caused commentators to question if his skill to play at the elite level was over.
But the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and perform assertively, supported by an better serve.
Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, securing 4 of the final five exchanges to take the lead.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the second set before Moutet, striving for his initial ATP Tour victory, took control to push for a decider.
Moutet rescued four initial opportunities in a tight deciding set before the champion broke to that score to secure the win.
Suitably, Medvedev secured the win with a point at the net area, with Moutet incapable to handle a return after a lengthy match.
