19 of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev won his first trophy for 882 days with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a challenging period, achieving just one win at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.
His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in specific - led to him falling of the elite rankings and finally separating with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - climaxing in a closely contested competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents his initial trophy after the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt since spring of that year.
The win also indicates Medvedev has won twenty-one victories at twenty-one different events.
"For the first time I am participating in a competition with my both daughters at once, so to get a trophy is really nice," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my child her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his previous six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's retrieving play style and frequent reactions on court had prompted some to doubt if his capacity to compete at the elite level was concluded.
Yet the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and play aggressively, backed up by an improved service.
The champion came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging opponent, taking 4 of the concluding five exchanges to go ahead.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his initial professional title, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent defended 4 early opportunities in a competitive final set before the Russian broke to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, he secured victory with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman unable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
