Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized Medvedev secured his first trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
Medvedev, a former number one, has endured a difficult year, winning just a single victory at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the US Open.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in particular - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with long-term coach Cervara.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily advanced in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's initial championship following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard court since spring of the previous year.
Victory also indicates the Russian has won twenty-one championships at 21 different events.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my both daughters at once, so to get a championship is particularly special," commented ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in tribute of my younger daughter Victoria, because the first title I won when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six finals, including in Halle previously this season.
His retrieving strategy and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had caused some to wonder if his skill to compete at the top level was concluded.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, making an effort to come to the net and perform assertively, supported by an enhanced serving game.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky opponent, securing 4 of the last five points to go ahead.
The pair swapped service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial professional victory, took control to push for a decider.
The opponent defended 4 initial break points in a tight deciding set before the champion broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the title with a point at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
