19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hard courts
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his first championship for nearly 30 months with success over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has endured a challenging season, managing just one match at the big events and suffering a setback at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - resulted in him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually separating with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently working with Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily advanced in the recent weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over opponent Moutet.
This marks the player's first championship since the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court from spring of the previous year.
Success also signifies Medvedev has won twenty-one championships at 21 different competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my children at once, so to secure a title is really nice," said ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I got when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his previous six finals, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
His counter-punching approach and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted observers to question if his skill to perform at the highest level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and play aggressively, reinforced by an improved serve.
He recovered from a deficit in the initial set against the difficult opponent, winning four of the concluding five points to go ahead.
The pair swapped break points in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first tour championship, seized the initiative to push for a final set.
The opponent defended 4 early-game opportunities in a close deciding set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev clinched the title with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
