19 of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his initial title for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a former number one, has endured a challenging period, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in especial - led to him exiting of the world's top 10 and finally separating with former mentor Cervara.
Presently working with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over opponent Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden trophy following the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard surface from that period of that year.
The win also means the Russian has secured 21 victories at twenty-one various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a tournament with my children at once, so to get a title is really nice," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This victory is in honour of my child my daughter, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his last six championship matches, including in Halle previously this season.
His counter-punching strategy and frequent outbursts on the playing surface had prompted observers to question if his skill to compete at the elite level was concluded.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and play aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
The champion recovered from a break down in the initial set against the difficult opponent, securing 4 of the final five exchanges to go ahead.
The competitors swapped service breaks in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden ATP Tour title, gained dominance to create a third set.
He saved four early chances in a tight final set before Medvedev won the break to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, he earned the win with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to manage a volley after a lengthy match.
