19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his first trophy for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has endured a difficult period, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in especial - resulted in him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-time coach Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought three-set victory over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's initial championship since the Rome competition and initial on a hard court since spring of the previous year.
The win also signifies the Russian has achieved 21 victories at 21 various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a championship is particularly special," said world number 14 Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my older daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six finals, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and frequent reactions on court had led observers to question if his ability to perform at the highest level was over.
Yet the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and perform positively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the challenging opponent, winning four of the final five games to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped breaks in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his initial tour championship, seized the initiative to create a decider.
He defended 4 early-game break points in a close third set before Medvedev broke to that score to close out the victory.
Fittingly, the winner clinched victory with a shot at the net, with his opponent incapable to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
