19 of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player secured his initial title for 882 days with a win over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a former world number one, has experienced a challenging period, winning just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - led to him falling of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with long-time mentor his previous coach.
Now training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually advanced in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's initial championship since the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard court after that period of that year.
The win also indicates Medvedev has secured 21 championships at 21 different competitions.
"For the first time I'm at a competition with my children at once, so to secure a trophy is really nice," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in dedication of my child her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his previous six championship matches, comprising in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive play style and recurring reactions on court had led commentators to doubt if his capacity to play at the top level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and play aggressively, backed up by an enhanced serving game.
He recovered from a deficit in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, taking 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
Both players swapped service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his first tour championship, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
The opponent rescued four early-game opportunities in a tight third set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner earned the win with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
