19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback Medvedev secured his maiden championship for 882 days with success over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has had a challenging year, achieving just one match at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in specific - led to him exiting of the top ten and ultimately splitting with former coach Cervara.
Currently collaborating with his coach and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually progressed in the past month - culminating in a tightly fought competitive win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden trophy since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hardcourt since March of that year.
Success also signifies the Russian has won twenty-one titles at twenty-one different tournaments.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my both daughters at once, so to get a trophy is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in tribute of my child her name, because the maiden victory I got when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his last six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
His retrieving approach and frequent reactions on the playing surface had prompted observers to doubt if his skill to perform at the highest level was concluded.
However the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and compete assertively, reinforced by an better service.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Moutet, taking 4 of the last five points to go ahead.
Both players traded breaks in the following set before Moutet, striving for his initial professional championship, gained dominance to create a third set.
He saved 4 initial chances in a close final set before the Russian won the break to that score to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he clinched the win with a point at the net area, with Moutet unable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
