Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player won his first title for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a difficult period, achieving just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in specific - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with long-term coach Cervara.
Now collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks the player's first trophy after the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court since March of that year.
Success also means he has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his past six title deciders, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
His defensive play style and frequent outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to wonder if his ability to play at the elite level was over.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and perform positively, supported by an better service.
The champion came back from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky Frenchman, taking four of the final five points to take the lead.
The competitors exchanged break points in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his first tour victory, gained dominance to force a third set.
He defended four early chances in a close final set before Medvedev broke to 15 to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he secured the win with a point at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
