19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his initial title for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has endured a challenging period, achieving just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and finally parting ways with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently working with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This represents his first championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard court from that period of that year.
Success also indicates the Russian has won twenty-one victories at 21 different events.
"It's the first time I have attended a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a title is really nice," said ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six finals, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's retrieving play style and frequent reactions on the playing surface had caused commentators to doubt if his skill to perform at the highest level was over.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, striving to advance forward and compete positively, supported by an better service.
Medvedev came back from a deficit in the initial set against the difficult opponent, winning 4 of the final five points to take the lead.
Both players exchanged breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden tour championship, gained dominance to push for a final set.
He rescued 4 initial chances in a tight third set before the champion broke to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev earned the title with a shot at the net, with Moutet failing to control a volley after a lengthy match.
