19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback Medvedev won his initial trophy for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.
The Russian, a former number one, has experienced a challenging year, winning just one match at the big events and undergoing a meltdown at the US Open.
His unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serve in especial - led to him falling of the elite rankings and finally parting ways with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Now collaborating with Johansson and Goetzke, he has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set victory over opponent Moutet.
This represents his maiden championship since the Rome competition and first on a hard surface after March of the previous year.
Victory also signifies he has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my children together, so to secure a title is really nice," said ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, featuring in Halle in the past months.
The player's counter-punching strategy and regular outbursts on the playing surface had prompted commentators to doubt if his skill to perform at the elite level was finished.
But the athlete has made changes in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and compete positively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
The champion recovered from a break down in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, taking 4 of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
The competitors traded service breaks in the second set before the challenger, striving for his maiden professional title, gained dominance to force a third set.
Moutet saved 4 early-game opportunities in a close deciding set before Medvedev won the break to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev clinched victory with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet unable to manage a volley after a lengthy match.
