19 of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his maiden title for 882 days with success over Corentin Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The athlete, a former world number one, has endured a torrid year, winning just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his service game in specific - led to him falling of the elite rankings and eventually separating with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Presently training with Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set victory over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's first trophy after the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard surface since spring of that year.
The win also indicates Medvedev has won 21 victories at twenty-one different competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my children at once, so to win a title is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the first title I got when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his previous six finals, including in that event in the past months.
His retrieving strategy and regular emotional displays on court had prompted observers to doubt if his ability to compete at the highest level was concluded.
But the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, making an effort to come to the net and play positively, backed up by an improved serving game.
The champion recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, taking 4 of the concluding five points to take the lead.
The pair traded breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his first tour championship, gained dominance to force a final set.
He saved four early opportunities in a close final set before the champion won the break to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, he secured victory with a rally at the net, with his opponent incapable to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
