19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hardcourt
A comeback Medvedev claimed his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has endured a torrid year, managing just one match at the big events and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in particular - caused him exiting of the top ten and ultimately separating with former coach his previous coach.
Presently working with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently progressed in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive win over challenger Corentin Moutet.
It is his maiden title after the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt after spring of the previous year.
Success also signifies Medvedev has won twenty-one titles at twenty-one different events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my children together, so to get a championship is particularly special," stated world number 14 Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter her name, because the maiden victory I achieved when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, featuring in that event in the past months.
His retrieving approach and regular emotional displays on court had prompted observers to doubt if his capacity to play at the elite level was finished.
But the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to approach the net and perform assertively, reinforced by an better service.
He fought back from a break down in the initial set against the difficult opponent, securing four of the concluding five exchanges to go ahead.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent saved four early opportunities in a close third set before Medvedev broke to that score to serve for the match.
Appropriately, he secured victory with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman failing to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
