19 of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard surfaces

A revitalized the Russian player won his initial championship for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.

The Russian, a ex- number one, has experienced a challenging year, managing just one win at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.

The player's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with long-time mentor Cervara.

Presently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought three-set win over challenger Corentin Moutet.

It is his maiden trophy after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface since March of that year.

Success also indicates Medvedev has achieved 21 titles at 21 various events.

"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my both daughters at once, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," said tennis professional the champion.

"This championship is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my child her name was delivered was for her."

The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his past six title deciders, featuring in that event previously this season.

Medvedev's retrieving play style and recurring emotional displays on the tennis court had led observers to question if his ability to play at the elite level was concluded.

Yet the player has made changes in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and compete positively, supported by an better serving game.

The champion came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging opponent, taking 4 of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.

The pair traded breaks in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his first ATP Tour championship, took control to push for a final set.

The opponent defended four initial opportunities in a tight final set before the Russian won the break to 15 to close out the victory.

Appropriately, the winner earned the win with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
