19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard courts
A comeback the Russian player secured his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with success over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging year, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in especial - led to him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with long-time trainer Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought three-set win over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's initial championship since the Rome competition and maiden on a hardcourt since spring of 2023.
Success also signifies the Russian has won 21 victories at twenty-one different events.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my both daughters at once, so to get a championship is really nice," stated world number 14 Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, comprising in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive play style and recurring emotional displays on court had led commentators to question if his ability to compete at the elite level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, striving to come to the net and perform positively, reinforced by an better service.
The champion came back from a break down in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, taking 4 of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded break points in the following set before Moutet, striving for his initial professional title, gained dominance to push for a third set.
He saved 4 early-game break points in a tight final set before the champion broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Fittingly, the winner secured the win with a shot at the net, with Moutet incapable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
