19 of the Russian's 21 championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player secured his maiden championship for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has had a challenging year, winning just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the US Open.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his service game in specific - led to him exiting of the world's top 10 and finally separating with former coach his previous coach.
Currently training with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently improved in the past month - culminating in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
It is his initial championship since the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard court since that period of 2023.
The win also means Medvedev has won twenty-one titles at twenty-one different tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my children together, so to get a trophy is really nice," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I won when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six title deciders, including in that event in the past months.
The player's retrieving play style and frequent reactions on court had prompted some to doubt if his ability to play at the elite level was over.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in the past month, attempting to approach the net and compete positively, supported by an enhanced serve.
The champion came back from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, securing 4 of the concluding five games to go ahead.
The competitors exchanged service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, bidding for his initial tour victory, gained dominance to force a third set.
Moutet rescued 4 early-game chances in a tight deciding set before the Russian broke to 15 to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner clinched the title with a rally at the net area, with his opponent failing to handle a volley after a lengthy match.
