19 of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been earned on hardcourt

A resurgent the Russian player claimed his first trophy for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.

Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a difficult period, achieving just a single victory at the big events and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.

Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-term coach Cervara.

Currently training with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily advanced in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested three-set win over opponent Corentin Moutet.

It is his first championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hardcourt after that period of that year.

Victory also means Medvedev has won twenty-one titles at twenty-one different events.

"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my both daughters at once, so to secure a title is really nice," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.

"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my child Alisa was born was for her."

The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, comprising in that event in the past months.

Medvedev's retrieving approach and regular reactions on the tennis court had caused some to question if his skill to perform at the elite level was over.

Yet the athlete has made changes in the past month, attempting to advance forward and perform assertively, reinforced by an better service.

The champion came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the difficult opponent, winning four of the final five games to go ahead.

The competitors traded break points in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour championship, gained dominance to push for a decider.

The opponent rescued 4 early-game break points in a tight third set before Medvedev broke to 15 to secure the win.

Appropriately, the winner earned victory with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to manage a return after a lengthy match.
