Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his maiden title for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has had a challenging year, achieving just a single victory at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in specific - led to him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately splitting with long-time coach his previous coach.
Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently progressed in the past month - culminating in a tightly fought competitive victory over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden championship since the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard surface after spring of 2023.
Success also means the Russian has won 21 championships at 21 various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my children together, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my child her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching play style and frequent emotional displays on court had prompted commentators to wonder if his ability to compete at the highest level was over.
Yet the athlete has altered his approach in the last few weeks, striving to approach the net and perform assertively, supported by an better serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, winning 4 of the final five games to take the lead.
Both players traded break points in the second set before the challenger, attempting for his first tour victory, gained dominance to force a third set.
He saved four initial opportunities in a tight deciding set before the Russian won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Suitably, he clinched victory with a point at the net, with his opponent unable to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
