19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player secured his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has had a difficult season, achieving just one win at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his service game in especial - resulted in him falling of the top ten and eventually separating with former mentor Cervara.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily improved in the past month - culminating in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's initial title following the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court from March of that year.
Victory also means the Russian has won 21 titles at twenty-one various competitions.
"For the first time I am participating in a competition with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a championship is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his last six title deciders, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
His counter-punching play style and regular outbursts on the tennis court had prompted observers to question if his capacity to perform at the elite level was over.
However the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and perform assertively, supported by an better serving game.
Medvedev fought back from a deficit in the first set against the difficult Moutet, winning 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his first ATP Tour title, gained dominance to push for a decider.
He saved 4 early-game break points in a close deciding set before the Russian won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the win with a rally at the net, with Moutet incapable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
