19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard surfaces
A comeback Medvedev won his maiden championship for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has endured a difficult year, managing just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the American major.
His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in particular - resulted in him falling of the top ten and eventually parting ways with long-time trainer Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested competitive win over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This represents his maiden trophy since the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface after spring of that year.
Victory also means Medvedev has won 21 championships at 21 distinct events.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my both daughters at once, so to win a trophy is particularly special," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I won when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his last six finals, comprising in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's counter-punching approach and recurring reactions on the playing surface had caused commentators to doubt if his skill to perform at the highest level was finished.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, striving to advance forward and compete aggressively, backed up by an enhanced serve.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the tricky opponent, securing 4 of the concluding five exchanges to go ahead.
The pair traded break points in the following set before the challenger, bidding for his initial tour victory, took control to force a third set.
He rescued 4 initial break points in a competitive final set before the champion broke to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner secured the title with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
