Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hard courts
A comeback Daniil Medvedev secured his initial trophy for 882 days with success over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a challenging year, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in particular - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's maiden title after the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt after March of the previous year.
Success also indicates the Russian has achieved twenty-one victories at 21 different events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my both daughters together, so to win a trophy is especially meaningful," stated ranked player Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his previous six championship matches, featuring in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's defensive play style and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had led some to doubt if his capacity to perform at the highest level was concluded.
Yet the player has altered his approach in the past month, striving to approach the net and play assertively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, winning four of the concluding five points to go ahead.
The pair exchanged break points in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
The opponent defended four early opportunities in a competitive third set before the champion broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the title with a shot at the net, with his opponent failing to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
