19 of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been achieved on hardcourt
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his initial trophy for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament final.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has endured a difficult period, managing just one match at the big events and suffering a setback at the New York tournament.
His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in particular - caused him exiting of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested competitive win over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's initial championship since the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt from that period of the previous year.
Success also indicates he has achieved twenty-one titles at twenty-one different tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my children together, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," commented ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my child her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his past six finals, featuring in Halle in the past months.
The player's retrieving play style and recurring reactions on court had prompted some to doubt if his ability to perform at the highest level was concluded.
However the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, striving to come to the net and play positively, reinforced by an enhanced serve.
He came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the difficult Moutet, securing four of the final five points to go ahead.
Both players traded break points in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his maiden tour championship, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
He defended 4 initial opportunities in a close third set before the champion broke to that score to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned the win with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman unable to control a shot after a lengthy match.
