19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a difficult year, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in especial - caused him exiting of the elite rankings and finally separating with long-time mentor Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and Goetzke, he has steadily advanced in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought competitive victory over opponent Moutet.
It is his initial championship since the Rome competition and initial on a hard court from March of that year.
Success also indicates the Russian has achieved 21 championships at twenty-one various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had failed in his last six finals, comprising in Halle previously this season.
His retrieving play style and recurring reactions on the tennis court had prompted observers to wonder if his capacity to perform at the highest level was over.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to come to the net and play assertively, supported by an enhanced serving game.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the first set against the tricky opponent, taking 4 of the final five games to take the lead.
Both players traded service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his initial tour championship, seized the initiative to create a final set.
Moutet rescued four early chances in a tight final set before the Russian secured a break to that score to close out the victory.
Fittingly, the winner earned the win with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
