Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his first trophy for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a challenging year, managing just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serving in specific - caused him dropping out of the top ten and finally parting ways with long-term trainer Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set triumph over opponent Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's first trophy following the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface after that period of that year.
Victory also means the Russian has won 21 championships at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a tournament with my two daughters at once, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," said tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in honour of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I won when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, including in Halle previously this season.
His counter-punching strategy and frequent outbursts on court had led observers to wonder if his ability to play at the highest level was finished.
Yet the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an better serve.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, securing four of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged service breaks in the following set before the challenger, striving for his maiden tour title, took control to push for a third set.
Moutet rescued 4 initial opportunities in a close third set before the champion won the break to that score to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner secured the win with a shot at the net area, with his opponent unable to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
