19 of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been won on hard surfaces
A comeback Medvedev claimed his initial trophy for 882 days with a win over Corentin Moutet in the competition final.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a challenging season, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in specific - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally splitting with long-term coach his previous coach.
Now collaborating with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Corentin Moutet.
It is his maiden championship following the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface after March of the previous year.
Victory also indicates he has secured twenty-one championships at twenty-one various events.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my children together, so to get a championship is really nice," commented world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the initial championship I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his past six championship matches, including in Halle in the past months.
His retrieving approach and regular reactions on the playing surface had prompted observers to question if his ability to perform at the top level was concluded.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and play assertively, reinforced by an improved service.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the challenging Frenchman, taking four of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded break points in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden tour championship, seized the initiative to create a final set.
He rescued 4 early-game opportunities in a tight third set before the Russian broke to that score to close out the victory.
Appropriately, Medvedev earned victory with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to handle a volley after a lengthy match.
