19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been achieved on hard surfaces
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his initial championship for over two years with success over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has endured a challenging period, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in specific - caused him exiting of the elite rankings and finally splitting with former mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought competitive triumph over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden trophy following the Rome competition and initial on a hardcourt after that period of that year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has won twenty-one victories at 21 distinct competitions.
"For the first time I'm at a competition with my two daughters at once, so to win a championship is really nice," said tennis professional the champion.
"This victory is in honour of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I achieved when my child her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six championship matches, featuring in that event in the past months.
His retrieving approach and recurring emotional displays on the tennis court had led some to doubt if his ability to perform at the highest level was finished.
However the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and compete assertively, reinforced by an better service.
Medvedev fought back from a break down in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, securing four of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
Both players exchanged breaks in the following set before the challenger, striving for his initial ATP Tour victory, took control to push for a final set.
He defended 4 early-game chances in a tight third set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner secured the title with a rally at the net area, with Moutet unable to manage a return after a lengthy match.
