Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with success over Corentin Moutet in the tournament final.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has endured a torrid period, managing just one win at the Grand Slams and suffering a setback at the American major.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in particular - caused him falling of the elite rankings and finally parting ways with long-term mentor Cervara.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought three-set victory over challenger Moutet.
This marks the player's initial championship following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hardcourt from March of that year.
Success also signifies he has secured twenty-one championships at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is really nice," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had lost his previous six title deciders, including in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and frequent emotional displays on the tennis court had led commentators to doubt if his capacity to play at the highest level was finished.
However the athlete has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and compete assertively, backed up by an enhanced serving game.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, securing four of the concluding five points to go ahead.
The competitors swapped service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden professional title, gained dominance to create a third set.
The opponent rescued four early break points in a close third set before the Russian won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Suitably, he earned victory with a rally at the net, with Moutet incapable to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
