Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hardcourt

A comeback Medvedev claimed his initial championship for nearly 30 months with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.

The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging year, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the US Open.

His unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in particular - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-term coach Cervara.

Presently working with his coach and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over challenger Moutet.

It is his initial title after the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court after that period of the previous year.

Success also means he has won 21 victories at 21 various events.

"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my children simultaneously, so to get a title is really nice," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.

"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter her name was born was for her."

Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament earlier this year.

His defensive play style and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had led observers to question if his capacity to perform at the top level was finished.

However the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and perform assertively, backed up by an enhanced serving game.

Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Moutet, winning 4 of the concluding five games to go ahead.

The competitors swapped break points in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour championship, took control to create a decider.

The opponent saved four early break points in a close final set before Medvedev broke to that score to secure the win.

Appropriately, he clinched the title with a point at the net, with Moutet failing to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
