19 of Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hard courts
A revitalized Medvedev won his initial trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has endured a difficult year, winning just one win at the big events and experiencing a setback at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in particular - resulted in him falling of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought competitive triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This represents the player's first trophy after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt after that period of the previous year.
Success also means the Russian has secured 21 titles at twenty-one various tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my both daughters at once, so to get a title is really nice," said ranked player the champion.
"This victory is in honour of my child Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in that event previously this season.
His retrieving play style and regular reactions on the playing surface had led some to question if his skill to compete at the top level was over.
Yet the athlete has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and perform assertively, supported by an improved serving game.
He recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, securing four of the concluding five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the following set before Moutet, striving for his maiden professional championship, gained dominance to push for a third set.
The opponent rescued 4 early chances in a close deciding set before Medvedev broke to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner earned the title with a point at the net area, with Moutet incapable to manage a return after over two and a half hours.
