19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard courts
A resurgent Medvedev secured his initial championship for 882 days with success over Corentin Moutet in the competition final.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has endured a challenging period, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and experiencing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in specific - resulted in him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately separating with long-term mentor Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's first trophy following the Rome competition and initial on a hard court since spring of the previous year.
The win also means the Russian has secured twenty-one victories at twenty-one different competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my both daughters at once, so to get a trophy is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his past six finals, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive strategy and frequent reactions on the playing surface had caused some to question if his skill to perform at the elite level was finished.
However the athlete has implemented adjustments in the past month, striving to come to the net and play assertively, backed up by an improved service.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky opponent, winning four of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
The competitors traded breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial tour victory, gained dominance to push for a decider.
He defended four early-game opportunities in a close deciding set before the champion broke to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner secured the title with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman unable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
