Nineteen of the Russian's 21 victories have been earned on hardcourt

A revitalized the Russian player secured his maiden trophy for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.

The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a difficult season, managing just one match at the big events and experiencing a setback at the New York tournament.

His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serving in especial - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with long-term mentor Cervara.

Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought competitive triumph over challenger Moutet.

It is the player's initial title following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface from March of that year.

Success also means he has achieved twenty-one championships at twenty-one different competitions.

"It's the first time I'm at a event with my two daughters together, so to get a championship is particularly special," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.

"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my first daughter her name was delivered was for her."

Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six finals, including in Halle earlier this year.

The player's retrieving strategy and recurring reactions on the tennis court had prompted some to question if his capacity to play at the top level was concluded.

Yet the player has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and play positively, backed up by an better serving game.

The champion came back from a break down in the initial set against the challenging Frenchman, taking four of the last five points to go ahead.

The competitors traded service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to create a final set.

Moutet rescued 4 early-game opportunities in a competitive final set before the champion broke to 15 to secure the win.

Appropriately, the winner clinched the win with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
