19 of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been won on hard surfaces
A revitalized Medvedev secured his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has endured a torrid season, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his service game in specific - led to him exiting of the top ten and ultimately splitting with former mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily advanced in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set win over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's maiden championship since the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface from that period of the previous year.
Victory also indicates he has achieved twenty-one titles at twenty-one various events.
"For the first time I'm at a event with my two daughters at once, so to secure a trophy is really nice," stated ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my child her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
His counter-punching approach and recurring reactions on court had caused some to wonder if his ability to perform at the elite level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and compete aggressively, supported by an better serving game.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, winning four of the last five exchanges to go ahead.
Both players swapped break points in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his first professional championship, took control to push for a final set.
Moutet rescued 4 early break points in a competitive third set before the Russian broke to 15 to serve for the match.
Suitably, the winner earned the title with a point at the net area, with his opponent unable to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
