Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his initial title for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a former number one, has experienced a difficult period, winning just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the American major.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serve in specific - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with former coach his previous coach.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has steadily advanced in the recent weeks - climaxing in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
It is Medvedev's initial title after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt from spring of the previous year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has achieved 21 titles at twenty-one various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my children at once, so to win a championship is really nice," commented world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my child my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had lost his last six finals, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's retrieving strategy and frequent outbursts on the playing surface had led some to doubt if his ability to play at the elite level was finished.
But the athlete has made changes in the past month, striving to come to the net and compete positively, reinforced by an better serve.
Medvedev came back from a deficit in the initial set against the challenging opponent, securing four of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair traded breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to create a final set.
Moutet rescued 4 early-game chances in a competitive deciding set before the champion broke to fifteen to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner secured the title with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to handle a shot after a lengthy match.
