Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Medvedev claimed his first trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has experienced a challenging period, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with former coach Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents his initial title since the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard court after that period of the previous year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has secured twenty-one victories at 21 various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my both daughters simultaneously, so to secure a championship is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my child my daughter, because the first title I got when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had lost his past six title deciders, featuring in that event previously this season.
His retrieving approach and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had caused some to question if his ability to compete at the highest level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and play assertively, backed up by an enhanced service.
The champion recovered from a break down in the initial set against the difficult opponent, winning four of the concluding five games to go ahead.
Both players traded breaks in the second set before Moutet, striving for his first tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a decider.
The opponent saved 4 early chances in a close deciding set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, he secured victory with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to handle a return after a lengthy match.
