Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hard courts
A comeback Medvedev secured his first title for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has had a torrid period, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually progressed in the past month - peaking in a closely contested competitive win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first championship after the Rome competition and first on a hard court after March of that year.
The win also means the Russian has achieved 21 titles at 21 various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a competition with my children at once, so to win a trophy is particularly special," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six title deciders, including in the German tournament in the past months.
His defensive approach and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to question if his skill to play at the elite level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to advance forward and compete assertively, supported by an improved serve.
Medvedev fought back from a break down in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, taking four of the final five points to go ahead.
The pair swapped break points in the second set before Moutet, striving for his first ATP Tour title, seized the initiative to force a decider.
Moutet rescued 4 initial break points in a tight deciding set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he clinched the title with a point at the net area, with his opponent failing to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
