19 of the Russian's 21 victories have been won on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his first championship for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a difficult year, managing just a single victory at the big events and suffering a setback at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serving in particular - caused him exiting of the top ten and eventually parting ways with former trainer Cervara.
Now working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily improved in the past month - peaking in a closely contested competitive win over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden title following the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt from that period of the previous year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has achieved twenty-one titles at twenty-one different events.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my children together, so to win a trophy is particularly special," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I got when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six finals, comprising in that event earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching play style and regular reactions on court had prompted some to wonder if his ability to perform at the highest level was finished.
But the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, attempting to approach the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an improved serve.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky opponent, winning 4 of the last five points to take the lead.
The pair traded break points in the following set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden tour title, gained dominance to create a final set.
The opponent defended four early break points in a competitive final set before the champion broke to that score to serve for the match.
Appropriately, Medvedev clinched the title with a point at the net, with the Frenchman failing to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
