19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hard surfaces
A comeback Medvedev secured his initial title for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament final.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid year, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the US Open.
His varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in specific - resulted in him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with former mentor Gilles Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually progressed in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over challenger Moutet.
This represents his initial championship after the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface since spring of that year.
Victory also signifies he has secured twenty-one championships at twenty-one distinct events.
"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my children simultaneously, so to get a championship is really nice," said world number 14 the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's counter-punching play style and regular emotional displays on court had led observers to doubt if his skill to play at the highest level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and compete assertively, supported by an better serving game.
The champion fought back from a break down in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, securing 4 of the final five games to gain the advantage.
The pair traded breaks in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his initial professional victory, gained dominance to create a third set.
Moutet defended four initial opportunities in a close final set before the Russian secured a break to 15 to serve for the match.
Fittingly, the winner earned the win with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to control a return after over two and a half hours.
