19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev won his first championship for 882 days with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition final.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has had a torrid year, managing just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his service game in especial - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and finally separating with former coach Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought competitive win over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents the player's initial championship after the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface since March of the previous year.
The win also means he has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 various events.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my children together, so to get a championship is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his past six finals, comprising in that event in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive approach and recurring emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted some to doubt if his capacity to compete at the elite level was finished.
But the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and compete assertively, backed up by an better serving game.
The champion fought back from a break down in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, winning four of the concluding five games to take the lead.
The pair swapped breaks in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden professional title, gained dominance to force a final set.
Moutet saved four early-game break points in a tight deciding set before the Russian broke to 15 to secure the win.
Suitably, Medvedev secured victory with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
