Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev secured his first trophy for 882 days with success over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a difficult year, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in specific - led to him falling of the elite rankings and finally splitting with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Now collaborating with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden championship after the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court from that period of 2023.

"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my child Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six title deciders, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and frequent emotional displays on the tennis court had prompted observers to question if his ability to perform at the elite level was concluded.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and compete assertively, backed up by an better serve.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the first set against the challenging opponent, taking four of the last five points to gain the advantage.
The pair traded service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to create a third set.
The opponent defended 4 initial chances in a tight deciding set before Medvedev broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, the winner earned victory with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to control a volley after a lengthy match.
