19 of the Russian's 21 championships have been earned on hard courts
A comeback Daniil Medvedev secured his initial title for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has had a challenging period, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the US Open.
The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in particular - caused him dropping out of the world's top 10 and eventually separating with long-term mentor Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually advanced in the past month - peaking in a closely contested three-set triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
It is the player's initial trophy following the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court after that period of 2023.
The win also indicates Medvedev has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 various events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my both daughters together, so to secure a title is particularly special," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I won when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, comprising in Halle previously this season.
The player's retrieving approach and recurring emotional displays on the tennis court had led commentators to wonder if his capacity to compete at the top level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in recent weeks, making an effort to advance forward and compete positively, backed up by an better serve.
Medvedev fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, winning four of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
The competitors swapped break points in the second set before Moutet, bidding for his initial tour championship, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent defended 4 early opportunities in a tight third set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to close out the victory.
Suitably, he secured victory with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
