19 of the Russian's 21 titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his first title for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a former world number one, has had a torrid season, winning just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in particular - caused him dropping out of the top ten and finally parting ways with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set triumph over opponent Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's first championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard court from that period of the previous year.
Success also indicates he has secured twenty-one championships at 21 different tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters at once, so to win a trophy is really nice," stated ranked player Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six finals, comprising in the German tournament earlier this year.
Medvedev's defensive approach and regular reactions on court had caused some to wonder if his capacity to perform at the highest level was concluded.
But the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and compete positively, backed up by an better service.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the initial set against the difficult Moutet, securing 4 of the concluding five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped break points in the second set before the challenger, striving for his initial tour championship, seized the initiative to create a decider.
The opponent saved four early-game opportunities in a competitive final set before the champion broke to 15 to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured the win with a point at the net area, with Moutet unable to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
