Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his first trophy for 882 days with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition final.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has endured a challenging season, winning just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in especial - led to him dropping out of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-term trainer Cervara.
Currently working with his coach and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive win over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks the player's maiden title after the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface from that period of the previous year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has won 21 titles at twenty-one various tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a tournament with my two daughters together, so to get a trophy is really nice," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter her name, because the maiden victory I got when my first daughter her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, including in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's counter-punching strategy and regular outbursts on the tennis court had prompted commentators to doubt if his skill to play at the top level was finished.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in the past month, attempting to advance forward and compete aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
Medvedev fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky opponent, taking four of the final five games to take the lead.
The competitors swapped service breaks in the following set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden tour victory, took control to create a third set.
He rescued 4 initial break points in a competitive final set before the Russian secured a break to that score to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner earned the win with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
