19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been won on hard courts
A comeback Medvedev won his initial trophy for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a former number one, has had a torrid season, achieving just one match at the big events and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in specific - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and finally parting ways with long-term mentor Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought competitive win over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks his maiden championship after the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface since that period of that year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has secured twenty-one championships at 21 distinct competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a competition with my children together, so to get a title is really nice," said ranked player the champion.
"This victory is in honour of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my child her name was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his past six finals, comprising in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's retrieving strategy and recurring reactions on the tennis court had led commentators to doubt if his skill to compete at the highest level was finished.
But the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to advance forward and compete aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
Medvedev came back from a break down in the initial set against the challenging opponent, winning four of the last five games to go ahead.
The pair exchanged break points in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial tour title, seized the initiative to force a decider.
Moutet saved four early-game opportunities in a close final set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the win with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to manage a return after over two and a half hours.
