Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been won on hard surfaces
A comeback the Russian player secured his first trophy for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a difficult period, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a setback at the American major.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in especial - led to him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Now working with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive win over opponent Moutet.
This marks his maiden title since the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court since spring of the previous year.
The win also signifies the Russian has won 21 championships at twenty-one different events.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a championship is particularly special," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the initial championship I won when my child her name was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his past six title deciders, comprising in that event previously this season.
His defensive play style and regular outbursts on court had led observers to wonder if his ability to compete at the highest level was over.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to come to the net and play positively, reinforced by an improved serve.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, securing 4 of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
The competitors exchanged service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a final set.
Moutet defended 4 early-game chances in a tight third set before the champion won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, he secured the title with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to control a shot after a lengthy match.
