19 of the Russian's 21 titles have been achieved on hardcourt

A resurgent the Russian player secured his initial title for over two years with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.

Medvedev, a former world number one, has experienced a difficult season, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and suffering a setback at the American major.

His unpredictability on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serve in particular - caused him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately separating with long-term mentor his previous coach.

Presently training with Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently progressed in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought three-set victory over opponent Moutet.

This represents the player's maiden championship following the Rome competition and initial on a hard court after that period of 2023.

The win also means Medvedev has secured 21 titles at twenty-one various events.

"For the first time I'm at a competition with my both daughters together, so to secure a championship is really nice," said tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.

"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my older daughter her name was born was for her."

The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, comprising in that event previously this season.

The player's defensive approach and frequent emotional displays on court had caused observers to doubt if his ability to perform at the top level was finished.

Yet the athlete has made changes in the past month, making an effort to advance forward and perform assertively, reinforced by an better serve.

He recovered from a break down in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, winning four of the concluding five points to go ahead.

The competitors traded break points in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial ATP Tour championship, gained dominance to create a third set.

He saved 4 early-game opportunities in a competitive deciding set before Medvedev broke to that score to secure the win.

Appropriately, he clinched the title with a shot at the net area, with Moutet failing to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
