19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player secured his first trophy for over two years with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has had a difficult season, managing just one match at the big events and experiencing a difficult moment at the US Open.
Medvedev's varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his serving in specific - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with former coach Cervara.
Now training with Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently progressed in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested three-set triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
It is Medvedev's initial championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard court since that period of 2023.
Success also signifies he has secured twenty-one titles at twenty-one various tournaments.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my two daughters together, so to secure a title is really nice," commented ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had lost his last six title deciders, including in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and regular reactions on court had prompted commentators to doubt if his capacity to perform at the top level was over.
But the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, striving to approach the net and perform aggressively, backed up by an better service.
He fought back from a deficit in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, taking 4 of the final five exchanges to go ahead.
Both players exchanged breaks in the following set before the challenger, striving for his initial professional title, seized the initiative to force a decider.
The opponent defended 4 initial opportunities in a tight final set before the Russian broke to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, he earned the title with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
