19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback Medvedev won his maiden title for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging period, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serve in particular - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and finally separating with long-term coach Cervara.
Currently collaborating with his coach and his other coach, he has steadily advanced in the last few weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought three-set win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This marks his first trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface since that period of the previous year.
Victory also means the Russian has secured 21 titles at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a championship is particularly special," stated tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the first title I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had failed in his previous six finals, featuring in that event earlier this year.
The player's defensive strategy and frequent outbursts on the tennis court had caused some to doubt if his capacity to compete at the elite level was concluded.
However the athlete has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and play assertively, backed up by an improved serving game.
He fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky opponent, taking 4 of the concluding five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his initial tour championship, gained dominance to force a final set.
He defended 4 early-game opportunities in a tight final set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Suitably, Medvedev secured the win with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to handle a shot after a lengthy match.
