Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hardcourt
A comeback Daniil Medvedev won his first championship for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has had a difficult season, managing just one win at the major tournaments and undergoing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in especial - caused him falling of the elite rankings and finally parting ways with former trainer Cervara.
Now training with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over opponent Moutet.
This marks the player's first title following the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court since March of 2023.
The win also indicates Medvedev has secured 21 victories at 21 different competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a tournament with my two daughters together, so to get a title is really nice," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had lost his previous six championship matches, comprising in that event in the past months.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and frequent emotional displays on court had prompted some to doubt if his capacity to perform at the highest level was finished.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in the past month, striving to approach the net and play positively, reinforced by an better serve.
Medvedev came back from a deficit in the initial set against the challenging Frenchman, securing 4 of the concluding five games to take the lead.
The pair traded breaks in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his first professional championship, took control to create a final set.
Moutet saved four early-game chances in a tight deciding set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured victory with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to manage a return after over two and a half hours.
