Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player won his maiden title for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a former world number one, has experienced a torrid period, winning just one match at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and issues with his service game in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and eventually splitting with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently training with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's first championship since the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court from that period of the previous year.
Success also signifies Medvedev has secured twenty-one titles at twenty-one different events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a competition with my both daughters at once, so to get a title is really nice," stated tennis professional the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his past six championship matches, including in that event in the past months.
The player's retrieving approach and frequent reactions on the tennis court had led observers to question if his ability to play at the top level was finished.
But the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and perform assertively, reinforced by an better serve.
The champion recovered from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging Frenchman, winning four of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
Both players swapped breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his initial tour victory, took control to force a final set.
He rescued 4 early-game chances in a tight third set before the Russian won the break to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner secured the win with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet unable to control a shot after a lengthy match.
