19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has experienced a challenging year, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in specific - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has gradually improved in the past month - peaking in a tightly fought competitive victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.
It is his maiden title after the Rome competition and initial on a hard court from March of the previous year.
Victory also signifies he has secured 21 victories at 21 different competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my both daughters at once, so to secure a title is really nice," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the maiden victory I achieved when my child her name was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, comprising in that event in the past months.
His retrieving approach and frequent reactions on the tennis court had led observers to wonder if his ability to play at the top level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and compete aggressively, supported by an better serving game.
He fought back from a deficit in the first set against the tricky Moutet, taking four of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his maiden tour championship, seized the initiative to push for a decider.
Moutet rescued four initial break points in a tight third set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner earned the win with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet unable to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
