19 of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard surfaces

A resurgent the Russian player claimed his first title for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.

The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a difficult year, achieving just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.

The player's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serving in especial - led to him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with former trainer Cervara.

Now training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested three-set win over opponent Moutet.

This represents Medvedev's first title following the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt from that period of the previous year.

Success also signifies Medvedev has secured twenty-one victories at 21 various competitions.

"It's the first time I have attended a event with my both daughters together, so to secure a championship is particularly special," commented tennis professional Medvedev.

"This championship is in honour of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."

The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his last six championship matches, including in that event in the past months.

His retrieving approach and frequent emotional displays on court had led commentators to wonder if his skill to compete at the elite level was concluded.

Yet the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and perform aggressively, backed up by an enhanced serve.

He fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, winning 4 of the concluding five games to go ahead.

Both players exchanged break points in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his first ATP Tour championship, gained dominance to force a final set.

The opponent saved 4 early-game chances in a competitive third set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.

Suitably, he secured the title with a shot at the net area, with Moutet unable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
