19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hard surfaces
A comeback Daniil Medvedev claimed his first trophy for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.
The athlete, a former world number one, has had a challenging period, achieving just one win at the big events and experiencing a setback at the American major.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in particular - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and eventually parting ways with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Presently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has steadily advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Corentin Moutet.
It is the player's first championship since the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt from March of that year.
The win also signifies Medvedev has secured twenty-one championships at twenty-one different competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my both daughters together, so to win a title is really nice," said ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his last six finals, including in Halle previously this season.
His retrieving play style and frequent outbursts on the tennis court had caused commentators to question if his capacity to compete at the elite level was concluded.
But the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an better serve.
Medvedev fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky opponent, taking 4 of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his initial professional victory, gained dominance to force a final set.
He defended 4 early-game break points in a tight deciding set before the Russian broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, Medvedev earned victory with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
