19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his maiden title for nearly 30 months with success over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid season, managing just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the American major.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serve in specific - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually parting ways with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Currently working with Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a hard-fought competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
It is Medvedev's first championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt after that period of the previous year.
Success also means Medvedev has achieved twenty-one victories at 21 various competitions.
"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my two daughters at once, so to get a title is particularly special," commented world number 14 Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the maiden victory I got when my child her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his last six title deciders, featuring in Halle previously this season.
His retrieving strategy and recurring reactions on court had led commentators to wonder if his capacity to compete at the highest level was concluded.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and play positively, reinforced by an improved serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, taking 4 of the concluding five exchanges to go ahead.
The pair swapped service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to create a decider.
Moutet defended 4 early-game break points in a competitive final set before the Russian won the break to that score to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev clinched victory with a shot at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
