Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 victories have been earned on hard courts
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his initial championship for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has endured a difficult period, achieving just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the US Open.
His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in especial - caused him falling of the top ten and eventually parting ways with long-term trainer Cervara.
Now training with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought three-set victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents the player's first title since the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hardcourt from spring of 2023.
Victory also means Medvedev has won 21 championships at 21 various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my children simultaneously, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six finals, comprising in Halle in the past months.
The player's defensive play style and regular outbursts on the tennis court had led commentators to wonder if his ability to play at the elite level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and play assertively, supported by an improved serving game.
He fought back from a break down in the initial set against the difficult Frenchman, winning 4 of the concluding five games to go ahead.
The competitors swapped break points in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden professional title, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent defended four early opportunities in a close third set before the Russian won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner clinched the title with a rally at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
