19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player secured his first championship for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has endured a difficult year, winning just one match at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the tennis tour - and issues with his serving in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Now working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's initial championship after the Rome competition and first on a hard court after that period of the previous year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has achieved twenty-one titles at twenty-one different tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my children together, so to win a title is particularly special," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
His retrieving play style and regular outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to question if his capacity to perform at the top level was over.
Yet the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and perform assertively, backed up by an enhanced serve.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the tricky Moutet, taking four of the last five points to go ahead.
The pair swapped service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial tour title, gained dominance to create a final set.
Moutet rescued 4 early chances in a tight third set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner earned victory with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
