19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his maiden trophy for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a difficult season, achieving just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a setback at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in particular - resulted in him exiting of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with long-time coach Cervara.
Now training with Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's maiden championship since the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard court since that period of the previous year.
Success also means Medvedev has secured 21 victories at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my children simultaneously, so to get a trophy is particularly special," said tennis professional Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had failed in his last six title deciders, including in that event previously this season.
The player's defensive strategy and frequent emotional displays on court had caused commentators to doubt if his skill to perform at the highest level was concluded.
But the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and compete positively, supported by an better serve.
The champion came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky Moutet, taking 4 of the concluding five exchanges to go ahead.
The competitors swapped break points in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his initial ATP Tour championship, seized the initiative to create a final set.
Moutet defended 4 early chances in a tight deciding set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Fittingly, the winner clinched victory with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to handle a shot after a lengthy match.
