Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his initial title for over two years with success over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a torrid season, winning just one win at the big events and undergoing a setback at the US Open.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in specific - caused him falling of the top ten and eventually splitting with long-term coach Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface since spring of 2023.
The win also indicates he has won 21 titles at 21 various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented ranked player the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, including in that event in the past months.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had prompted observers to doubt if his ability to play at the elite level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and compete aggressively, supported by an enhanced serve.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Moutet, taking four of the concluding five points to go ahead.
Both players exchanged break points in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his initial ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to push for a third set.
The opponent rescued 4 early chances in a competitive final set before the champion broke to that score to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured the win with a rally at the net area, with Moutet failing to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
