19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized Medvedev claimed his first championship for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament final.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has had a difficult season, managing just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serving in particular - resulted in him falling of the top ten and eventually parting ways with former trainer Cervara.
Currently training with his coach and his other coach, he has consistently progressed in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought three-set win over challenger Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden title after the Rome competition and maiden on a hardcourt since March of the previous year.
Success also indicates the Russian has achieved 21 titles at twenty-one various events.
"It's the first time I have attended a competition with my both daughters at once, so to win a championship is really nice," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This victory is in dedication of my child her name, because the first title I achieved when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in Halle previously this season.
His retrieving strategy and frequent reactions on the playing surface had led observers to wonder if his ability to compete at the elite level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the past month, striving to come to the net and play positively, supported by an better serving game.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, winning four of the last five games to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, attempting for his first professional championship, seized the initiative to push for a final set.
The opponent defended 4 early chances in a tight final set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner clinched the title with a rally at the net, with Moutet incapable to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
