19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev secured his maiden title for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has had a challenging season, managing just a single victory at the big events and suffering a setback at the American major.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in especial - led to him falling of the elite rankings and eventually parting ways with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought competitive win over opponent Moutet.
This marks his initial title following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hardcourt from March of 2023.
Victory also indicates the Russian has secured twenty-one championships at 21 various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my two daughters at once, so to win a trophy is really nice," said world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter her name, because the initial championship I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, including in that event previously this season.
His defensive strategy and frequent reactions on court had led commentators to wonder if his skill to compete at the top level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, making an effort to come to the net and perform assertively, supported by an improved service.
He fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, winning four of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his initial professional victory, took control to push for a third set.
He rescued 4 early chances in a close final set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev clinched the title with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
