19 of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard surfaces

A comeback Medvedev secured his initial championship for nearly 30 months with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.

The athlete, a ex- world number one, has endured a torrid period, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a setback at the New York tournament.

Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with long-time mentor Cervara.

Presently collaborating with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive win over Frenchman Moutet.

This marks his first trophy following the Rome competition and maiden on a hardcourt since that period of 2023.

The win also signifies the Russian has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 various competitions.

"It's the first time I'm at a event with my children simultaneously, so to get a trophy is really nice," stated world number 14 the champion.

"This championship is in dedication of my child her name, because the maiden victory I achieved when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."

The tennis star, the past champion, had failed in his last six finals, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.

Medvedev's counter-punching strategy and frequent emotional displays on court had led commentators to question if his skill to compete at the highest level was concluded.

However the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and compete aggressively, backed up by an enhanced serve.

He recovered from a deficit in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, winning four of the concluding five points to take the lead.

Both players swapped break points in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his initial tour title, took control to push for a final set.

The opponent rescued four early-game opportunities in a close final set before Medvedev broke to that score to serve for the match.

Appropriately, he clinched victory with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
