Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been won on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player won his initial championship for nearly 30 months with success over Corentin Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has experienced a challenging period, managing just one match at the big events and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in particular - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually separating with long-term mentor his previous coach.
Currently training with his coach and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily advanced in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought competitive win over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's initial title following the Rome competition and first on a hard court since that period of the previous year.
Victory also signifies Medvedev has won 21 championships at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my two daughters together, so to get a title is really nice," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his previous six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament earlier this year.
His counter-punching approach and frequent reactions on court had led commentators to question if his skill to compete at the elite level was over.
But the athlete has made changes in the past month, attempting to approach the net and play positively, supported by an enhanced serving game.
He recovered from a break down in the opening set against the challenging opponent, winning four of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
The pair traded breaks in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his initial tour victory, took control to create a decider.
He rescued four initial chances in a tight deciding set before the Russian secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, Medvedev secured victory with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman unable to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
