19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been won on hard courts
A comeback the Russian player secured his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a challenging period, achieving just one match at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serving in particular - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and ultimately separating with former trainer Cervara.
Presently training with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually improved in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's maiden trophy since the Italian tournament and first on a hard court from that period of that year.
Victory also means he has achieved twenty-one victories at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my children at once, so to win a trophy is really nice," said world number 14 Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his last six title deciders, featuring in Halle in the past months.
The player's counter-punching play style and regular outbursts on the tennis court had prompted some to doubt if his skill to play at the top level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the past month, making an effort to come to the net and play aggressively, supported by an improved serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the first set against the challenging Moutet, taking four of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged breaks in the second set before Moutet, bidding for his initial tour victory, gained dominance to create a third set.
The opponent rescued 4 early break points in a competitive final set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Fittingly, the winner earned the title with a rally at the net area, with Moutet incapable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
