19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev won his initial championship for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The athlete, a former world number one, has had a challenging season, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his serving in especial - caused him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately separating with long-term coach Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, he has steadily advanced in the past month - peaking in a closely contested competitive triumph over opponent Moutet.
This marks his maiden title after the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard court after that period of that year.
Success also signifies Medvedev has won twenty-one victories at 21 different competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my children simultaneously, so to win a trophy is particularly special," commented world number 14 Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I got when my child my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, featuring in that event earlier this year.
Medvedev's defensive strategy and frequent outbursts on the tennis court had prompted observers to question if his ability to play at the top level was concluded.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to advance forward and perform aggressively, supported by an better service.
Medvedev came back from a deficit in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, winning four of the concluding five points to take the lead.
Both players exchanged breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden tour victory, took control to create a final set.
Moutet rescued four early-game opportunities in a close final set before the champion won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner earned victory with a point at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
