19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A comeback Medvedev won his initial trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has endured a challenging year, managing just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his service game in especial - caused him exiting of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with long-time mentor Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently improved in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought three-set victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's initial trophy following the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard surface since March of the previous year.
Success also signifies the Russian has won 21 championships at twenty-one various tournaments.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my both daughters together, so to get a trophy is particularly special," said tennis professional Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my child her name, because the initial championship I got when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive strategy and regular emotional displays on court had caused commentators to question if his ability to play at the elite level was concluded.
Yet the player has altered his approach in the past month, striving to come to the net and compete aggressively, reinforced by an better serving game.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the challenging opponent, taking 4 of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his maiden tour victory, gained dominance to create a final set.
Moutet defended 4 early break points in a competitive third set before the champion broke to fifteen to close out the victory.
Fittingly, he secured the title with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
