19 of the Russian's 21 victories have been won on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player secured his first trophy for over two years with success over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has experienced a torrid year, managing just a single victory at the big events and undergoing a setback at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in particular - caused him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually separating with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently training with his coach and Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a tightly fought competitive win over challenger Moutet.
It is his initial title following the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard surface after that period of the previous year.
The win also means the Russian has secured twenty-one victories at 21 various tournaments.
"For the first time I am participating in a event with my two daughters together, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter her name, because the maiden victory I won when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six finals, comprising in Halle in the past months.
The player's retrieving strategy and frequent reactions on the playing surface had prompted observers to question if his skill to compete at the elite level was over.
However the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and play assertively, supported by an better serve.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, winning four of the concluding five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden tour victory, gained dominance to force a third set.
Moutet rescued 4 early opportunities in a competitive third set before the Russian secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Suitably, he secured the title with a point at the net, with Moutet failing to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
