Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev secured his initial championship for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has had a challenging period, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the US Open.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serve in particular - caused him dropping out of the top ten and finally splitting with long-time trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set triumph over challenger Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's first title after the Rome competition and initial on a hard court from March of 2023.
Victory also indicates Medvedev has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my two daughters together, so to secure a championship is particularly special," stated ranked player the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my child my daughter was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his past six finals, comprising in Halle in the past months.
His retrieving strategy and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had prompted observers to question if his capacity to compete at the top level was over.
However the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and play aggressively, reinforced by an better service.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the first set against the tricky opponent, taking 4 of the final five games to go ahead.
Both players traded breaks in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his first ATP Tour victory, took control to push for a final set.
The opponent defended 4 initial break points in a close third set before the Russian broke to that score to serve for the match.
Suitably, he earned the win with a point at the net area, with his opponent incapable to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
