Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev won his maiden championship for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has had a torrid season, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in especial - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and finally separating with former mentor his previous coach.
Currently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
It is his first championship following the Rome competition and initial on a hard court since spring of that year.
The win also means he has secured 21 victories at 21 various events.
"For the first time I am participating in a tournament with my children together, so to get a championship is particularly special," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in dedication of my child my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six title deciders, comprising in Halle in the past months.
His counter-punching strategy and regular reactions on the playing surface had prompted some to doubt if his capacity to compete at the elite level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has made changes in the past month, striving to approach the net and perform assertively, supported by an better serve.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging opponent, securing 4 of the last five points to take the lead.
The competitors swapped breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial professional victory, seized the initiative to create a third set.
He saved four initial break points in a close third set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, the winner secured victory with a point at the net area, with his opponent failing to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
