19 of the Russian's 21 titles have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his initial championship for nearly 30 months with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has experienced a difficult period, achieving just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually separating with long-term mentor his previous coach.
Now training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set triumph over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first title since the Italian tournament and maiden on a hardcourt since spring of the previous year.
The win also means the Russian has achieved 21 championships at twenty-one different competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a tournament with my both daughters together, so to win a title is particularly special," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his last six finals, featuring in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's defensive approach and recurring reactions on court had caused observers to question if his capacity to play at the top level was over.
But the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the past month, striving to approach the net and perform assertively, backed up by an improved service.
He fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the challenging Frenchman, taking 4 of the concluding five points to take the lead.
The competitors exchanged break points in the middle set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial tour victory, seized the initiative to force a third set.
The opponent saved 4 initial break points in a close final set before the Russian broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, he clinched the win with a shot at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
