Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player won his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the tournament final.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid period, winning just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in particular - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with long-time mentor Cervara.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over challenger Corentin Moutet.
It is the player's maiden trophy since the Italian tournament and maiden on a hardcourt since that period of the previous year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has secured twenty-one championships at 21 different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a competition with my both daughters together, so to get a title is particularly special," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had failed in his past six title deciders, comprising in that event previously this season.
His counter-punching approach and frequent outbursts on the playing surface had led observers to question if his capacity to compete at the highest level was over.
Yet the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, attempting to come to the net and compete assertively, supported by an improved service.
The champion recovered from a break down in the opening set against the challenging opponent, securing four of the final five games to go ahead.
Both players traded service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his first professional championship, took control to create a decider.
The opponent rescued four initial break points in a tight third set before the champion won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev clinched victory with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to control a return after over two and a half hours.
