19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player secured his first championship for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a difficult period, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a setback at the US Open.
The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and issues with his serving in specific - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally separating with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Presently working with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily advanced in the recent weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set win over opponent Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first trophy after the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt since that period of 2023.
Victory also signifies Medvedev has secured twenty-one titles at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my both daughters at once, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," stated ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, featuring in Halle previously this season.
The player's counter-punching approach and recurring emotional displays on court had led some to question if his ability to compete at the elite level was concluded.
But the athlete has made changes in the past month, striving to come to the net and play assertively, reinforced by an improved serve.
Medvedev fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the difficult opponent, taking four of the final five points to go ahead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his first professional championship, took control to create a decider.
Moutet rescued four early-game break points in a competitive deciding set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev clinched victory with a point at the net, with his opponent incapable to handle a volley after a lengthy match.
