19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player won his first title for nearly 30 months with success over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid period, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in especial - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally splitting with long-term coach Cervara.
Currently working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested competitive triumph over challenger Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's initial trophy since the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt since that period of the previous year.
Success also indicates the Russian has secured 21 titles at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters together, so to secure a championship is especially meaningful," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
His retrieving strategy and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had led commentators to question if his skill to perform at the top level was concluded.
However the athlete has altered his approach in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and compete assertively, supported by an enhanced service.
The champion came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, taking four of the final five exchanges to go ahead.
The pair traded service breaks in the second set before the challenger, striving for his initial ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
He defended 4 initial opportunities in a tight deciding set before the Russian won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured the win with a shot at the net, with Moutet unable to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
