Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard courts
A comeback the Russian player won his first trophy for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a torrid period, achieving just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in specific - led to him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with former mentor Cervara.
Presently working with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a tightly fought competitive triumph over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's initial title since the Rome competition and initial on a hardcourt after that period of the previous year.
The win also means the Russian has won twenty-one championships at 21 different competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my both daughters together, so to secure a championship is particularly special," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my child Victoria, because the first title I won when my child my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament earlier this year.
His defensive strategy and recurring outbursts on court had caused commentators to wonder if his ability to perform at the elite level was over.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and perform assertively, backed up by an enhanced service.
Medvedev fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky opponent, securing 4 of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped break points in the following set before Moutet, attempting for his first ATP Tour championship, seized the initiative to force a final set.
He saved 4 initial chances in a competitive final set before Medvedev broke to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, he earned the title with a point at the net, with his opponent unable to control a shot after a lengthy match.
