Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hard surfaces
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his maiden trophy for over two years with success over Corentin Moutet in the competition final.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has had a challenging year, winning just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in specific - resulted in him exiting of the elite rankings and finally separating with former trainer Cervara.
Now collaborating with his coach and his other coach, he has consistently progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over challenger Moutet.
It is Medvedev's initial title after the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface after spring of the previous year.
Success also means the Russian has secured 21 victories at twenty-one different competitions.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my children simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is particularly special," said ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, featuring in that event earlier this year.
His counter-punching approach and recurring emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted commentators to question if his capacity to compete at the highest level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and compete positively, supported by an better serve.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, securing 4 of the last five games to go ahead.
The pair swapped break points in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his initial ATP Tour championship, took control to push for a third set.
Moutet saved 4 initial break points in a close deciding set before the Russian won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner secured the title with a point at the net, with his opponent failing to control a volley after a lengthy match.
