19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hardcourt
A comeback Medvedev claimed his first championship for over two years with success over Corentin Moutet in the tournament final.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has had a difficult period, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the US Open.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in specific - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with long-time coach Cervara.

"This marks the first occasion I'm at a competition with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a title is particularly special," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had lost his last six championship matches, comprising in that event in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive play style and recurring reactions on the playing surface had led some to wonder if his ability to compete at the highest level was over.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in the past month, striving to approach the net and perform aggressively, supported by an enhanced service.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky opponent, taking 4 of the last five points to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped break points in the second set before the challenger, striving for his maiden professional victory, took control to create a decider.
Moutet defended 4 early break points in a tight final set before the champion secured a break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner secured the win with a point at the net area, with Moutet failing to control a return after a lengthy match.
