Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has endured a difficult period, winning just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in particular - resulted in him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with long-term coach his previous coach.
Presently training with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested three-set victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first championship after the Rome competition and initial on a hardcourt since that period of that year.
Success also signifies the Russian has won 21 championships at 21 different competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is particularly special," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the initial championship I got when my child her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his last six title deciders, featuring in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching play style and regular reactions on court had led observers to wonder if his capacity to play at the elite level was finished.
Yet the athlete has made changes in the past month, striving to approach the net and compete assertively, reinforced by an better serve.
He fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, securing four of the concluding five exchanges to go ahead.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour championship, seized the initiative to create a decider.
The opponent defended four early break points in a tight third set before Medvedev won the break to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, he secured victory with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to handle a shot after over two and a half hours.
