19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his initial trophy for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has had a torrid season, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with former trainer Cervara.
Currently collaborating with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a hard-fought competitive triumph over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's initial title after the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface after March of that year.

"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his past six title deciders, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
The player's retrieving strategy and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had led commentators to wonder if his skill to perform at the elite level was finished.
But the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, making an effort to approach the net and perform aggressively, reinforced by an better service.
He came back from a break down in the first set against the tricky opponent, securing four of the last five exchanges to go ahead.
Both players swapped service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his first tour championship, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
The opponent defended four initial chances in a competitive deciding set before the Russian secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, the winner secured victory with a rally at the net, with Moutet unable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
