19 of Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback Medvedev won his initial title for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has endured a torrid year, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in particular - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with long-term coach Cervara.
Now working with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually improved in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden trophy since the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard surface from spring of 2023.
The win also means he has won 21 championships at twenty-one different competitions.
"For the first time I have attended a tournament with my both daughters at once, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my child her name, because the initial championship I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his last six title deciders, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had caused some to wonder if his ability to compete at the top level was concluded.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and play assertively, supported by an better serving game.
He fought back from a deficit in the first set against the challenging Frenchman, securing four of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
Both players swapped break points in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his first tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a final set.
He rescued 4 early opportunities in a tight third set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, he earned the win with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
