19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player won his initial title for nearly 30 months with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid year, winning just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the professional circuit - and issues with his serving in specific - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Now collaborating with his coach and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually improved in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set win over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden championship after the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface from March of that year.
The win also means the Russian has won 21 titles at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a tournament with my children simultaneously, so to get a title is particularly special," said tennis professional the champion.
"This victory is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I got when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's retrieving approach and recurring emotional displays on the playing surface had caused observers to wonder if his capacity to play at the elite level was finished.
Yet the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and play positively, reinforced by an enhanced serving game.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, winning 4 of the concluding five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped break points in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, took control to force a final set.
The opponent saved four early-game opportunities in a competitive third set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner earned victory with a rally at the net, with his opponent failing to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
