He won 80 per cent of his first-serve points and his 23 winners as he dominated his unseeded opponent.
Koepfer converted his single break point of the match in the first set, but was broken twice as Medvedev surged ahead.
The Russian then broke three times in the second set and twice in the third to seal victory in just under two hours.
