19 of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev secured his first championship for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has experienced a challenging season, winning just one match at the big events and suffering a setback at the US Open.
His unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in particular - led to him falling of the top ten and eventually parting ways with former trainer his previous coach.
Now training with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a hard-fought competitive triumph over opponent Moutet.
It is his initial trophy following the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface since spring of that year.
The win also means he has won 21 victories at twenty-one different tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my both daughters at once, so to secure a title is particularly special," said ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his last six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive approach and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had led observers to wonder if his ability to perform at the elite level was finished.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and compete assertively, supported by an improved serving game.
He recovered from a deficit in the initial set against the difficult opponent, winning 4 of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
Both players traded service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his maiden ATP Tour title, gained dominance to create a final set.
The opponent defended 4 initial opportunities in a competitive final set before the champion won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner clinched victory with a rally at the net, with Moutet unable to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
