Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player claimed his first championship for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has experienced a torrid period, winning just one match at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serving in particular - led to him dropping out of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with long-time trainer Cervara.
Presently collaborating with his coach and Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently progressed in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought three-set win over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard court from that period of 2023.
Victory also signifies he has achieved 21 championships at twenty-one different events.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my both daughters at once, so to secure a title is really nice," commented world number 14 Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, comprising in that event in the past months.
His counter-punching strategy and frequent reactions on court had caused observers to doubt if his capacity to perform at the elite level was over.
However the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and perform aggressively, backed up by an enhanced service.
Medvedev came back from a break down in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, winning four of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped break points in the following set before the Frenchman, attempting for his first professional title, gained dominance to push for a final set.
Moutet saved four early-game break points in a competitive third set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Suitably, he secured victory with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
