Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his initial championship for nearly 30 months with success over Corentin Moutet in the competition final.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has had a torrid season, winning just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a difficult moment at the American major.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-time mentor his previous coach.
Now training with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually improved in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks his initial championship following the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt since spring of the previous year.
Success also signifies Medvedev has won 21 victories at twenty-one various events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my children together, so to secure a title is really nice," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the first title I got when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six title deciders, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's retrieving play style and regular outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to wonder if his skill to perform at the highest level was concluded.
Yet the athlete has implemented adjustments in the past month, striving to come to the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an better serve.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging opponent, winning 4 of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial tour victory, took control to push for a decider.
Moutet defended 4 initial opportunities in a close deciding set before the champion broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Fittingly, he secured the win with a point at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a shot after a lengthy match.
