19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been achieved on hard surfaces
A comeback Daniil Medvedev secured his first trophy for 882 days with success over Corentin Moutet in the competition final.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has endured a challenging year, managing just one match at the major tournaments and undergoing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in particular - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually parting ways with long-term coach Gilles Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's initial championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface after spring of that year.
Success also signifies Medvedev has achieved twenty-one victories at 21 distinct events.
"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a title is really nice," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter her name, because the first title I won when my older daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six finals, including in Halle previously this season.
The player's defensive strategy and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had caused some to wonder if his capacity to compete at the highest level was over.
However the athlete has implemented adjustments in the past month, making an effort to advance forward and compete positively, reinforced by an better service.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult opponent, winning four of the last five games to take the lead.
The pair swapped service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first tour victory, seized the initiative to force a final set.
The opponent rescued 4 initial chances in a close deciding set before the Russian secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev clinched victory with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman unable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
