19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard courts
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev won his first title for 882 days with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid season, managing just one match at the big events and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serving in specific - caused him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily improved in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's maiden title since the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court from spring of the previous year.
The win also indicates he has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a tournament with my children together, so to win a championship is really nice," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my second daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his last six championship matches, including in that event in the past months.
His counter-punching play style and frequent outbursts on court had prompted commentators to wonder if his ability to play at the elite level was over.
But the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, attempting to advance forward and play positively, backed up by an improved serve.
He recovered from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, taking four of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged break points in the following set before the challenger, bidding for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to force a decider.
The opponent saved 4 early-game opportunities in a competitive third set before Medvedev broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned the title with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to control a volley after a lengthy match.
