Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player secured his maiden trophy for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a challenging period, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.
His varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serving in especial - caused him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with long-term coach his previous coach.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive win over opponent Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden championship following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hardcourt after that period of that year.
Success also means he has won twenty-one victories at twenty-one various tournaments.
"For the first time I'm at a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
His defensive strategy and recurring reactions on the playing surface had caused some to doubt if his capacity to play at the top level was concluded.
But the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and compete assertively, backed up by an better serve.
He fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, winning 4 of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.
Both players traded breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his first professional title, took control to push for a final set.
He rescued 4 early break points in a tight deciding set before Medvedev secured a break to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev earned the title with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
