19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player won his initial title for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a challenging period, achieving just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in specific - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with long-time coach Cervara.
Presently training with his coach and Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought three-set triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first title after the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface after spring of that year.
The win also indicates Medvedev has won twenty-one titles at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my children simultaneously, so to win a title is really nice," commented ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my child Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my child her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, featuring in Halle in the past months.
The player's defensive strategy and recurring reactions on the playing surface had led observers to wonder if his ability to perform at the elite level was over.
However the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and compete aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced serve.
The champion recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, securing 4 of the concluding five points to take the lead.
The competitors exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his maiden ATP Tour title, took control to push for a final set.
The opponent saved 4 early-game opportunities in a close final set before the Russian secured a break to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, he secured the title with a rally at the net area, with Moutet failing to control a return after a lengthy match.
