19 of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hard courts
A comeback Daniil Medvedev claimed his first championship for 882 days with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has had a difficult season, winning just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serving in especial - resulted in him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Currently training with his coach and Goetzke, he has steadily progressed in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks his maiden championship after the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface from March of 2023.

"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
His retrieving play style and regular outbursts on court had caused observers to wonder if his ability to perform at the elite level was concluded.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the last few weeks, attempting to come to the net and perform aggressively, reinforced by an better service.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the difficult Frenchman, winning 4 of the final five games to take the lead.
The competitors exchanged break points in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden ATP Tour championship, seized the initiative to create a decider.
Moutet saved 4 initial break points in a competitive third set before the Russian secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner secured victory with a shot at the net area, with Moutet unable to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
