Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent Medvedev won his maiden championship for 882 days with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid period, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a difficult moment at the US Open.
His unpredictability on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in specific - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually parting ways with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Presently working with Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily advanced in the past month - culminating in a closely contested competitive win over challenger Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's maiden trophy following the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard surface since that period of the previous year.
Success also signifies he has won 21 championships at 21 various events.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my both daughters at once, so to get a title is really nice," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I won when my first daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had lost his past six championship matches, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's retrieving strategy and recurring outbursts on court had caused some to doubt if his ability to compete at the elite level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, striving to approach the net and compete positively, supported by an better serving game.
He came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, securing four of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the middle set before Moutet, bidding for his initial tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
Moutet defended 4 early chances in a tight third set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Fittingly, he clinched the win with a rally at the net area, with Moutet failing to control a volley after a lengthy match.
