Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging year, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serving in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Presently training with Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually improved in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's maiden championship since the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt from March of that year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has secured 21 victories at 21 various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my child her name, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six finals, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive approach and regular reactions on court had prompted some to wonder if his capacity to compete at the highest level was finished.
Yet the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to come to the net and compete positively, backed up by an improved service.
The champion came back from a break down in the first set against the difficult Moutet, winning 4 of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged break points in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his maiden professional victory, took control to create a final set.
The opponent rescued four early-game opportunities in a tight final set before the champion won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Fittingly, the winner clinched the win with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
