19 of Medvedev's 21 titles have been won on hard courts
A resurgent Medvedev won his first championship for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a former number one, has endured a difficult year, achieving just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the US Open.
His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his serving in specific - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Presently training with his coach and his other coach, he has consistently progressed in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's initial trophy after the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court from spring of the previous year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has secured twenty-one victories at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my children simultaneously, so to get a championship is especially meaningful," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I got when my child her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his previous six finals, including in that event previously this season.
Medvedev's retrieving approach and regular outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to doubt if his capacity to perform at the top level was concluded.
Yet the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and compete positively, reinforced by an enhanced serving game.
He fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the difficult Frenchman, securing 4 of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden tour title, gained dominance to create a final set.
The opponent rescued four early-game chances in a close final set before the Russian won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Suitably, the winner secured the win with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman failing to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
