19 of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard courts
A revitalized Medvedev claimed his first championship for over two years with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has had a torrid year, winning just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in especial - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually parting ways with former coach Cervara.
Currently working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought competitive victory over opponent Moutet.
This marks the player's first trophy after the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hardcourt from that period of the previous year.
Success also indicates the Russian has achieved 21 titles at 21 distinct competitions.
"For the first time I have attended a tournament with my children at once, so to secure a championship is particularly special," said ranked player Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his past six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's retrieving play style and regular emotional displays on court had led observers to doubt if his skill to compete at the elite level was finished.
However the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and perform assertively, supported by an better serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging Moutet, winning four of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, striving for his first professional title, seized the initiative to create a final set.
He defended 4 early chances in a tight third set before the Russian secured a break to 15 to secure the win.
Suitably, Medvedev clinched victory with a rally at the net, with his opponent incapable to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
