19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback Medvedev claimed his initial trophy for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has had a torrid period, achieving just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in specific - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and eventually parting ways with former coach Cervara.
Presently training with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently advanced in the past month - culminating in a closely contested competitive win over challenger Moutet.
It is Medvedev's initial title following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard court after March of the previous year.
The win also means Medvedev has won twenty-one titles at 21 different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my both daughters at once, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I won when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
His counter-punching strategy and frequent reactions on the playing surface had led some to doubt if his skill to play at the top level was over.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to advance forward and play aggressively, backed up by an enhanced service.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult opponent, taking 4 of the last five games to go ahead.
The pair traded service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden professional championship, seized the initiative to push for a final set.
He rescued 4 initial opportunities in a tight final set before the champion won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev secured the title with a shot at the net, with Moutet failing to manage a shot after a lengthy match.
