19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player secured his initial title for over two years with success over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has endured a difficult year, winning just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in especial - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with long-time trainer Cervara.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has steadily improved in the recent weeks - culminating in a closely contested three-set victory over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This marks his initial trophy following the Rome competition and first on a hard surface since that period of that year.
The win also means he has secured twenty-one titles at 21 different events.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my both daughters together, so to win a trophy is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the maiden victory I won when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had lost his previous six title deciders, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
His counter-punching play style and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had led commentators to doubt if his skill to compete at the top level was finished.
Yet the athlete has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and perform assertively, reinforced by an better serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging opponent, winning 4 of the concluding five games to go ahead.
Both players swapped break points in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his initial ATP Tour title, seized the initiative to create a third set.
He defended 4 initial break points in a close final set before Medvedev broke to 15 to serve for the match.
Appropriately, the winner earned the title with a point at the net area, with the Frenchman failing to control a volley after a lengthy match.
