Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback Medvedev won his initial championship for 882 days with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a challenging season, achieving just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the US Open.
His varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Currently working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually improved in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested competitive triumph over challenger Moutet.
It is Medvedev's maiden title following the Rome competition and initial on a hard surface after spring of that year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has won twenty-one titles at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my children together, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," commented ranked player the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, including in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's counter-punching approach and recurring emotional displays on court had prompted commentators to question if his ability to compete at the elite level was finished.
But the player has made changes in recent weeks, making an effort to come to the net and play assertively, supported by an better serving game.
Medvedev fought back from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, taking four of the final five games to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged break points in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his first professional title, gained dominance to force a final set.
Moutet defended four early-game chances in a close final set before the Russian secured a break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner earned the win with a shot at the net area, with his opponent incapable to control a volley after a lengthy match.
