19 of Medvedev's 21 titles have been won on hard courts
A resurgent Medvedev secured his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The athlete, a former number one, has endured a challenging period, winning just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently training with his coach and his other coach, he has steadily advanced in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over opponent Moutet.
It is his maiden trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt after that period of that year.
Success also means the Russian has won 21 victories at 21 distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my children at once, so to win a trophy is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, featuring in that event previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive play style and recurring reactions on the playing surface had led commentators to wonder if his ability to play at the highest level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to come to the net and compete assertively, supported by an improved serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging Moutet, winning four of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his first professional title, seized the initiative to force a final set.
He defended four early-game opportunities in a tight deciding set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Suitably, he earned the win with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to manage a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
