Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard courts
A comeback Daniil Medvedev claimed his first title for 882 days with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging year, managing just one match at the big events and undergoing a setback at the US Open.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in particular - led to him exiting of the top ten and ultimately splitting with former mentor his previous coach.
Now training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's first trophy since the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt from spring of that year.
Victory also indicates he has won twenty-one titles at 21 distinct competitions.
"For the first time I'm at a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is really nice," commented ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his previous six title deciders, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
The player's defensive play style and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had led commentators to wonder if his capacity to compete at the elite level was over.
However the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and perform positively, reinforced by an better service.
Medvedev came back from a break down in the initial set against the challenging Moutet, winning four of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial professional title, took control to force a third set.
Moutet defended 4 early break points in a tight final set before the Russian broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Appropriately, he clinched victory with a point at the net area, with the Frenchman unable to manage a volley after a lengthy match.
