19 of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev won his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a former number one, has endured a challenging season, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a setback at the New York tournament.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his serving in particular - caused him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately separating with long-term mentor his previous coach.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily advanced in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
It is the player's first championship following the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface from that period of the previous year.
The win also signifies the Russian has secured twenty-one championships at 21 various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my children simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," stated ranked player the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I won when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his last six title deciders, including in Halle previously this season.
His retrieving approach and recurring reactions on the tennis court had prompted commentators to wonder if his ability to compete at the highest level was over.
However the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to advance forward and perform assertively, backed up by an better serving game.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, securing four of the concluding five exchanges to go ahead.
The competitors swapped breaks in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his initial professional victory, took control to push for a decider.
Moutet defended 4 early break points in a close deciding set before the champion won the break to fifteen to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the title with a point at the net, with his opponent incapable to control a return after over two and a half hours.
