Nineteen of the Russian's 21 titles have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his first title for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid year, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the US Open.
His unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serving in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually separating with former mentor Cervara.
Currently collaborating with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently advanced in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks his first championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface from that period of that year.
The win also means the Russian has secured twenty-one victories at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my both daughters simultaneously, so to win a trophy is really nice," stated world number 14 Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
The player's defensive strategy and recurring emotional displays on the tennis court had prompted observers to question if his ability to play at the elite level was finished.
Yet the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and play positively, backed up by an enhanced serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, securing 4 of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his first tour championship, gained dominance to push for a final set.
He defended four early chances in a tight third set before the Russian secured a break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned the title with a rally at the net area, with his opponent unable to control a shot after a lengthy match.
