Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his initial championship for nearly 30 months with success over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has endured a challenging season, achieving just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in particular - led to him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with former trainer his previous coach.
Currently collaborating with his coach and Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought three-set victory over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's initial title after the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt from that period of 2023.
Success also indicates the Russian has won twenty-one titles at 21 different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my two daughters together, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I won when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his past six title deciders, including in Halle in the past months.
His defensive play style and regular reactions on the tennis court had led commentators to question if his ability to compete at the highest level was over.
But the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and play aggressively, backed up by an improved service.
The champion came back from a deficit in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, taking 4 of the final five games to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged break points in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his first ATP Tour title, seized the initiative to force a third set.
Moutet rescued four initial chances in a competitive third set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Appropriately, he secured victory with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet unable to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
