Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been won on hardcourt
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden trophy for 882 days with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a former number one, has endured a challenging period, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a setback at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his service game in specific - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with former trainer his previous coach.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a tightly fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
It is Medvedev's maiden trophy after the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hardcourt from March of 2023.
Success also indicates the Russian has won twenty-one championships at 21 various events.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my two daughters at once, so to win a championship is particularly special," stated tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his past six championship matches, including in that event earlier this year.
Medvedev's counter-punching strategy and frequent reactions on the playing surface had led commentators to question if his capacity to perform at the elite level was concluded.
However the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to approach the net and play assertively, supported by an better serving game.
He recovered from a break down in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, taking 4 of the last five points to take the lead.
Both players traded breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
He rescued 4 initial opportunities in a competitive third set before the champion secured a break to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, he earned the title with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
