19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his initial trophy for over two years with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a former world number one, has experienced a torrid season, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his service game in specific - caused him exiting of the top ten and eventually separating with former mentor his previous coach.
Currently working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks his initial trophy following the Rome competition and initial on a hard surface after spring of 2023.
Victory also indicates he has won twenty-one championships at 21 distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I have attended a competition with my two daughters at once, so to get a championship is really nice," stated ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
His defensive play style and frequent reactions on the playing surface had prompted observers to question if his skill to play at the top level was finished.
Yet the athlete has made changes in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and play positively, supported by an better serve.
He came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging Frenchman, taking four of the concluding five games to take the lead.
The competitors swapped break points in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his maiden tour championship, gained dominance to push for a final set.
The opponent defended 4 initial break points in a competitive deciding set before the champion won the break to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev earned victory with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
