Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hardcourt

A resurgent the Russian player claimed his initial title for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.

Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has had a difficult season, winning just one win at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.

Medvedev's varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in specific - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and finally parting ways with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.

Currently collaborating with his coach and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Moutet.

It is the player's first title since the Rome competition and first on a hard surface from that period of that year.

The win also signifies he has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 distinct events.

"It's the first time I have attended a event with my children together, so to win a title is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 the champion.

"This victory is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my child her name was delivered was for her."

The athlete, the past champion, had lost his last six championship matches, comprising in Halle earlier this year.

The player's counter-punching approach and frequent reactions on court had caused some to question if his skill to play at the highest level was finished.

But the athlete has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to advance forward and play positively, reinforced by an improved service.

He fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging opponent, taking four of the concluding five points to go ahead.

Both players swapped break points in the following set before the challenger, bidding for his first tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a third set.

Moutet rescued 4 early-game opportunities in a tight deciding set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.

Suitably, he earned the win with a point at the net area, with his opponent failing to manage a return after over two and a half hours.
