Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his initial title for 882 days with success over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has had a challenging year, achieving just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serve in especial - caused him exiting of the top ten and ultimately separating with long-term mentor his previous coach.
Currently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive triumph over opponent Moutet.
It is Medvedev's first championship following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard court after that period of that year.
Success also means Medvedev has won 21 victories at 21 various events.
"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my two daughters at once, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," stated ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his last six finals, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's retrieving play style and regular emotional displays on court had led some to doubt if his capacity to compete at the highest level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and perform assertively, supported by an improved service.
The champion came back from a break down in the first set against the challenging Frenchman, securing 4 of the last five games to take the lead.
Both players traded breaks in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his initial professional victory, seized the initiative to force a decider.
Moutet rescued 4 initial break points in a tight deciding set before Medvedev broke to that score to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured the title with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to handle a volley after a lengthy match.
