19 of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A comeback Medvedev secured his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid year, winning just one win at the big events and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in especial - resulted in him falling of the elite rankings and finally parting ways with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has steadily advanced in the past month - culminating in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Moutet.
This marks the player's initial trophy after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface after spring of that year.
The win also indicates the Russian has won twenty-one championships at twenty-one various tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my both daughters at once, so to secure a championship is especially meaningful," said ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his last six championship matches, including in Halle previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive approach and regular emotional displays on court had caused some to doubt if his ability to play at the top level was concluded.
Yet the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to advance forward and play assertively, supported by an better serving game.
He fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the challenging opponent, taking 4 of the last five games to take the lead.
The competitors exchanged break points in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his first professional championship, gained dominance to push for a final set.
He rescued 4 initial break points in a competitive deciding set before the champion broke to 15 to serve for the match.
Appropriately, the winner earned the title with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to control a shot after a lengthy match.
