Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player secured his first championship for 882 days with victory over Corentin Moutet in the competition final.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has endured a challenging year, winning just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the US Open.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his serving in specific - led to him dropping out of the top ten and finally separating with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently improved in the past month - peaking in a tightly fought competitive triumph over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
It is Medvedev's maiden championship since the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt from spring of that year.
Victory also means the Russian has secured 21 championships at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a competition with my children at once, so to win a trophy is really nice," commented tennis professional Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my child my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his last six championship matches, comprising in Halle previously this season.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and recurring emotional displays on the tennis court had led some to wonder if his ability to play at the top level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and perform positively, supported by an better service.
Medvedev came back from a break down in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, securing four of the final five points to go ahead.
The pair swapped break points in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, took control to push for a final set.
The opponent defended four early-game break points in a competitive third set before Medvedev broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner earned victory with a rally at the net area, with the Frenchman failing to control a volley after a lengthy match.
